Patricia Anne (Bloom) Penshorn died April 30, 2024 in Chisago City. Born to Wendell and Lucia Bloom on June 1, 1931, Patsy grew up in both St. Paul and Center City, MN, graduating from High School in Center City. Pat attended Macalester College where she met her lifelong husband, Robert Penshorn.

Pat loved music and always sang in the church choir, and with her family, using her lovely alto voice. Pat was an environmentalist, dancer, weaver, knitter, and painter! She was also a kind and friendly person who never hesitated to start a conversation and get to know people. Stepping up when foster parents were needed, the family embraced siblings Bruce (dec.), Laura (dec.), and Brenda Ingersoll. 

Pat lived out her last years at Ecumen Parmly in Chisago City, and we know she’d want to express our gratitude for all the wonderful care she received! 

Pat will be sorely missed by her three daughters, Julie Penshorn (Ray Nelson), Sally Chapeau (Kevin Chapeau), and Carrie Penshorn (Daniel Sonnen); and grandchildren, Jacob Kaysen, Adam Kaysen, Collin Peterson, Madisen Penshorn, and Colton Penshorn (Alyssa), as well as her foster daughter Brenda Ingersoll.

 A celebration of her life will be held in August at the family lake cabin. 

If you wish to make a gift in Pat’s name, Center Lakes Association, Habitat for Humanity, and Macalester- Plymouth Church are her suggestions.
