Patricia Mae Lewis, age 72, was born May 21, 1943 in Mystic, IA.  She passed away June 2, 2015 in Chisago City, MN. Pat was born to Robert and Delores Foster and lived her early years in rural Iowa.  She moved to Chicago, IL in her late teens, and worked a variety of jobs.  She moved back to Iowa and raised her two children there.

At the age of 40, Pat went to college and became a Licensed Practical Nurse, working in nursing homes.  She moved to Minnesota to be closer to her grandchildren.  She retired to Lindstrom, MN.

Pat was a strong, independent woman.  She loved music, especially Elvis, her grandchildren and her cat, Baby.
