It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Patricia Ann Olheiser, who was born on September 15, 1964, and departed from us on March 29, 2025, at the age of 60. Patricia is preceded in death by her beloved grandson, Diontez Keys, son-in-law Melvin George Jr., Father Lyle Zerwas Sr., and brother Lawrence Zerwas.
Patricia is survived by her devoted mother, Roseann Olheiser, and her cherished children: Jessica (Ben) Spedevick, Latricia George (Tommie), Shaynette (Alex) Cassman, Sean Dean (Linda), and Mickale Dean (Linyell). She leaves a legacy of love in her grandchildren: Meliah, Rayne, Jeshayla, Melvin, Malachi, Jamonte, Jayanna, Austin, Keyanna, Axel, Andrew, Mickella, Mickale, and Kylah. Patricia was also a loving sister to Lona (James) Madison, Chester (Nancy) Zerwas, Doug Zerwas (Pam), Floyd Zerwas, Lyle Zerwas Jr. (Charlotte), Tom (Chris) Zerwas, Jim Zerwas (Kris), Germaine (Bob) Yocum, Eugene (Teresa) Zerwas. She loved her nieces and nephews: Jennifer, J.J., Curtis, Crystal, Nathaniel, Troy, Mike, Aliesha, Valerie, Chuck, Kayla, April, and Kenny.
We wanted to take a moment to celebrate our beloved Patricia! Known for her infectious love of Mountain Dew and her loud, feisty nature, Patricia truly brought joy to everyone around her. Her often-embarrassing dance moves? Those were just part of her charm!
In 2015, Patricia pursued her passion for cosmetology, earning her associate degree in applied science. What a testament to her commitment to her craft! And let's not forget her green thumb-she had an incredible knack for nurturing plants.
Patricia loved spending time with family, playing bingo, and getting crafty. She had a talent for collecting unique knick knacks that always sparked a smile. She found comfort in small moments like getting her hair brushed by her daughters and sipping Irish crème coffee. Her spirit will be missed, but her joyful energy and passion for life will forever remain in our hearts.
Let's remember the laughter and love she shared with us all. Feel free to share your favorite memories of Patricia!
Patricia's life will be celebrated on Friday, April 25, 2025, at Mueller Memorial, located at 4738 Bald Eagle Avenue, White Bear Lake. The gathering will commence at 11:30 a.m., followed by a Time of Remembrance at 12:30 p.m., and conclude with burial at St. Mary of the Lake Cemetery. After the burial, we would like to invite everyone to meet at Jimmy's at 1132 County Rd E East, Vadnais Heights, MN, 55110.
