Patricia Ann Uhlig

Patricia’s life began on March 17, 1938, in Kansas City, Kansas. She is the daughter of Don and Irene (Rindt) McCoy. Patricia was united in marriage to Richard Uhlig on September 26, 1959, at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Kansas City.

She was a special education schoolteacher for several years while her husband completed his medical school training and later was the office manager for his medical practice. Patricia was a faithful member of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Herington and had participated in ELCA women. She was a member of the P.E.O. Sisterhood and served on the Herington School Board for years. Patricia enjoyed owning her gift shop “OMG Gifts” in downtown Herington as much for the fun things she sold as for the chance to visit with everyone who came in the shop.

 She and Richard enjoyed travelling and seeing the world together.
