Patricia Ellen Kuehn, beloved mother of Jerry, Tom, Lonna, Vera, and Yvonne, passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 7th 2008 in Billings, MT, after a short battle with cancer. She was born September 13th, 1930 to Frank and Ellen Neumann of Ismay, MT. She was raised in the Plevna area as a country girl, and remained a country girl throughout her 77 years.
Patricia was an unforgettable woman who took pride in everything she did. She was generous and loving to everyone she met. She loved her family with all of her heart
Pats greatest love was her family, both immediate and extended. Living in the country was her second greatest joy in life. She spent most of her life tending to the sheep as a young girl and cows as an adult. Her kindness and gentleness were her greatest gifts that she shared with her family, friends, and strangers. Pat was a true lady to the end. Never a complaint, never a bad word, and never a why me. She faced her battle with cancer with grace and courage and she was blessed with a peaceful and quiet passing.
