  • Notes 
    • Patricia Mae Liethen, 79, passed away unexpectedly Friday February 5th, 2016 after a brief illness, Pat was born May 21, 1936 in De Pere, WI to Raymond and Marion Turriff. Pat grew up in Appleton the oldest of four children and is survived by her two brothers George Turriff (NC), David Turriff (MD), and her sister Mary Christiensen (Appleton). She graduated from St. Mary's Catholic High School in Menasha in 1954 and worked at Presto Products and Pranges Department store in Appleton until 1986. She moved to Orange, California to be closer to her daughters and worked as a senior buyer for Bio-Rad Diagnostic Labratories. Her extreme energy and love of her career allowed her to work until September of 2015. After retiring, Pat moved to a beautiful and active senior living community. An amazing woman with a zest for life, Pat enjoyed traveling the world over, entertaining friends, and searching for beautiful white wines to share with her friends.

      Patricia is survived by her two daughters Sue (Steve) Liethen Bolwell of Carlsbad CA. and Amy Jo (Tommy) Guem of Aspen CO. Her grandson Tyler Bolwell was the light of her life. "Oma" and Tyler had such a fantastic love for each other. Pat was preceded in death by her daughter Sara in 1984.

      Pat lived life to its fullest. There is no one more generous, fun loving, and selfless than this outstanding woman. She will be missed by many but not half as much as her daughters will miss her. She was our Mom but more importantly our best friend too.

      No funeral services. Possible memorial service at a later date.
