Patricia A. Haack

Pat was the epitome of kindness and grace. She was beautiful, inside and out. I am privileged to have known her entire family, for many years. I have you all in my prayers to find comfort and peace, and I love you all, very much!

Dear Family of Pat... To know the love of this amazing soul is a gift from God. I feel so blessed to have known Pat, and to have spent time with her. Sending love and prayers to each of you today and always~Jamie Schultz.

The first time I met Pat was at the bridal shower her and Aunt Marg threw for me. She welcomed me into the Handel family with open arms and always went out of her way to say hello and ask how the kids were whenever I saw her. Like her mother she had a special way of touching everyone she met, Pat will be deeply missed!

Sweet Pat....and sweet, sweet doting and loving family. Heaven is richer tonight. Our deep sympathy for your huge loss and the long struggle everyone has endured. We keep you ALL close in thoughts and prayers. Ann and Phil

Pat was my first "real job" boss. I started working for her at the Cancer Care Clinic in the outpatient section of the oncology wing at Madison General Hospital when I was just 19 years old. I learned about professionalism, confidentiality and how addicting peanut M&Ms could be (she always had a snack-size bag in her pocket). I remember a few years later bringing my young son trick-or-treating to her and Stan's home. We were so excited to see their super cute mini dachshunds, whom Pat adored and talked about often at work. Pat was my work mom and I really loved her.
