Patricia Waltman
March 24, 1956 — March 9, 2017
Patricia "Patty" S. Waltman, 60, died Thursday, March 9, 2017, in her home in Lincoln, KS, from complications related to her lung cancer. In hospice care shortly prior to her death, Patricia died peacefully in her sleep, with her companion, Jay Core, at her side.
Patricia was born March 24, 1956, in Beloit, the daughter of George and Betty (Murray) Bergmann. She attended Saint John's Catholic School. In 1972, she married Bob Wysocki in Beloit. They resided in St. Paul, NE. To this union, two children were born, William and Suzanne. The marriage was later dissolved. In 1982, she married Lee Hall in Winfield, KS. To this union, one daughter was born, Elizabeth. The marriage was later dissolved. While she still had two children at home, she graduated summa cum laude from Southwestern College in Winfield, with a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing.
Nursing was her passion. She cared about and cared for all life around her. She also was an exceptional gardener, often giving away a large amount of what she harvested. After taking an early retirement, she was a devoted caretaker to her parents. A wonderful, compassionate woman, she made it easy to love her. She will be greatly missed.
She is survived by companion Jay Core, of Lincoln; mother Betty Bergmann, of Beloit; son William Wysocki, of Winfield; daughters Suzanne (Justin) Kendall, of Lawrence, and Elizabeth (Bill) Cropek, of Winfield; Jay's son Jason Core, of Salina; Jay's daughter Sara (Caleb) Zeigler, of Great Bend; brothers Richard (Eileen) Bergmann, of Salina, Bill (Madonna) Bergmann of Simpson, Paul (Nancy) Bergmann, of Cawker City, Dennis (Annie) Bergmann, of Concordia, and Donald (Patricia) Bergmann of Beloit; sisters Michele (Byron) Coffman, of Winfield, and Marlene (Blake) Giebler, of Clever, MO; grandchildren Ally Wysocki, Frugi Hall, Tiffany Cropek, Craig Cropek, and Katrina Cropek; great-granddaughter Ariel Duncan; and many, many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her father, George Bergmann.
Funeral services will be 10:00 AM Wednesday, March 15 at the St. John's Catholic Church in Beloit. Visitation will be from 3-7PM Tuesday, March 14 at the McDonald Funeral Home and the casket will remain closed. Memorials may be given to the Solomon Valley Hospice.
