Patricia Feller

OREGON-Patricia Mary Feller, age 85, of Oregon, passed away peacefully, on Sunday, Aug. 18, 2013, at Meriter Hospital. She was born on May 19, 1928, in Madison, the daughter of Daisy and John Raftree. Patricia married G. Walter Feller on April 6, 1974, in Madison. She grew up on the east side of Madison, graduating from East High School. Patricia retired from Methodist Hospital after working there for 25 years. While working at the hospital, she met the love of her life, Walter. Walter and Patricia shared their married life on their farm outside of Oregon. The city girl loved country living, having a big garden, raising animals and walking the fields. She was a very kind and compassionate person and was an inspiration to many. After Walter’s passing, she was proud that she was able to continue to live in her home, where she felt safe and free from her blindness. Patricia is survived by her daughters, Susie (Terry) Campbell and Melissa (Guy) Judd; sons, Jeffery (Bonnie) Olson and Christopher Olson; sisters, Marilyn Lindau (Mike Siemion) and Sharon Stoltz; 20 grandchildren; and 17 great-grandchildren.
