Patricia was of the Lutheran faith and lived a life filled with love, creativity, and care for others. She married the love of her life, Louis Erffmeyer, in March of 1971, and together they built a beautiful family and home.

Pat worked as a registered nurse, dedicating her career to helping others with compassion and professionalism. After getting her RN Diploma, Pat later furthered her career by getting a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing at St. Francis University in Joliet, IL which helped her become that much more astute and confident at her profession helping other nurses and teaching the younger ones the ins and outs of the professions. That’s the kind of person she was.

She also had a passion for water aerobics, painting, and home projects, always finding joy in creating and improving her surroundings. Pat also loved cooking and sharing meals with family and friends. Her warmth, creativity, and devotion to her family will be remembered forever.

She is survived by her husband, Louis Erffmeyer; one son, Michael (Melissa) of New Lenox, Illinois; and two cherished grandchildren, Hayden and Presley. Pat was preceded in death by her parents, Robert Marker and Norma (Clarke) Marker; her daughter, Jamie; and her brother, John.
