Patricia Louise John, 79 Patricia Louise (Tripp) John, Sept. 19, 1932, to Feb. 9, 2012. Pat’s courageous battle against cancer ended with dignity and grace  on Feb. 9, 2012. She was surrounded and comforted by her loving  children and grandchildren, and will be deeply missed by us all. Grandma Pat was devoted to her seven grandchildren, family and  dearest friends. A true Packers fan, she was fondly named the "Packer  Ref" by her family. She loved Caribbean sunsets, bowling, music (Ella  and Frank), novels, movies, Jeopardy, crossword puzzles and Friday  lunches with Marion. In 1988, she was inducted into the Wisconsin  State Women’s Bowling Hall of Fame.  She lived life to its fullest  right to the end. The family wishes to thank Dr. Marks of the Froedtert Hospital Cancer  Center, Horizon Home Care and Hospice and Margaret Donegan for their  kindness and support through this difficult journey.  They let Mom do  it her way. Pat is survived by the ones she loved: Arno John; Linda, Brandon and  T.J. Winters; Cindy, Carl and Bryan Scholz; Susan, Joe, Chris and  Megan Buchel; William (Kathy) John and Charlie DeMars; Steve, Ann  (Vogt) and Eric John. She is fondly remembered by Irmgard Buchel and  Opa (Karl) Scholz; Aunt Birdie Tripp; Jeff Tripp; Greg (Vicki) Tripp;  Mark (Amy) Tripp; and Jim (Julia) Tripp. She is also survived by many  other dear relatives and friends. Pat was preceded in death by Fred H. Tripp, Louise K. Marshall  (Kietlinski) and Robert C. Tripp. Visitation will be held Saturday, Feb. 18, at Schramka-Densow Funeral  Home, 423 N.
