Joan Pattky

Joan S. Pattky Dec. 1, 1935 – June 12, 2021 Preceded in death by her parents, Chickrella and Adele Seman, sisters, Doris Mosessian and Evelyn Haik, life partner Don Mills, and daughter-in-law, Michele. She spent the first 82 years of her life in New Jersey. She graduated from Clifton High School, married and raised four children: Len, Kevin, Bob (Sandy) and Janet. After her children were all in school she took a job at Deluxe Check Printers and worked there until her retirement 25 years later. Following her retirement she moved to a shore community in south Jersey to enjoy her love of the ocean. She loved her growing family and enjoyed spending time with her seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She moved to Minnesota in 2018 and enjoyed her new neighbors and friends in White Bear Lake. She was an avid card player and would sit down for a game any time of the day. As her body began to fail, she chose hospice to provide care and support, and left this world on her own terms. She’ll be missed terribly by her family and many friends. A memorial service will be held for her at the First Presbyterian Church of White Bear Lake on Friday, June 25 at 10:00 am. Memorial donations can be made to the First Presbyterian Church of White Bear Lake in her honor.
