Obituary
MIDDLETON – Patricia A. May, age 54, of Middleton, passed away on Thursday, Aug. 13, 2020, at her home. She was born on Feb. 22, 1966, in Madison, the daughter of Billy and Anna (Meier) May.
Pat didn’t let her disability get her down. She volunteered at the Middleton Senior Center for 20 years, where she received numerous awards for her volunteer work. Pat enjoyed drawing, crocheting, stamping, doing puzzle books, reading crime mysteries and writing poetry. A poem from Pat:
“I could easily get depressed and say woe is me. Why’d I have to be this way? But I don’t ever let myself get that way. I just keep going every day.”
Patricia was a beloved daughter of Billy and Ann (Meier) May; dearest sister of Michael (Cindy) May, Mary May (Terry), Peggy (Stephen) Beaver and Denise May; and loving aunt to Christian, Amanda, Sarah, Nicole, Elyse and Ella. She is survived and cherished by many relatives and friends.
The family would like to thank Pat’s primary caregiver Bobbi Nieson. She wasn’t just her caregiver, she was a friend to Pat and the May family. Private family services will be held. Online condolences may be made at www.gundersonfh.com.

How did you get so wise? Your love of life and laughter will be sorely missed. God’s peace and goodness ... you deserve ALL that He has waiting for you!

Pat was such a bright light and smiling face at the Middleton Senior Center. I often look to see if she was there, long after she left. Her bright, cheerful attitude was only matched by her competence on the job. She was the go-to-person for years, even as a volunteer! She will not be forgotten!

Dear Pat's family, I was so sorry to learn of Pat's passing. As I hope you know I loved Pat and enjoyed the time we spent together. Since I moved I've missed our talks about the crazy T.V. programs we both watched. She always had a smile and never a complaint. Please know my love and thoughts are with your whole family. I will always treasure the channukah slippers she gave me! Loretta Littky

I am sorry for your loss. We had the best time as neighbors. I would push her on her wheelchair when I was on roller skates. Watch game shows laughing with our guesses. Listening to music talking and laughing. Laura Didriksen Hohlstein
