     PATSY R. "PAT" SUTHERLAND, age 76, of Mead Lake, rural Greenwood, WI, passed away at her home on Friday, August 21, 2015, surrounded by her loving family.  There will be no services held.
     Patsy Rae Boughner was born on September 9, 1938 in Milwaukee, WI, the daughter of Joseph and Myrtle (Carlson) Boughner.  She was raised and received her education in Milwaukee and attended Riverside High School, where she met her husband, Gil, at a sock hop.  After graduating from Riverside High School in 1956, Pat was united in marriage to Gilbert W. Sutherland on August 27, 1960 at the Divine Charity Lutheran Church in Milwaukee.  They raised their family in Stevens Point and Neenah, WI, where Pat was employed for twenty years as the office manager for a local machine shop.  Pat served as a book keeper and dispatcher at Ashland Chemical in Menasha, WI and eventually retired from an office position at JJ Keller.
     Pat loved travelling to Mexico, spending time with her family, and camping.  Time spent with Gil at Boyd’s Mason Lake Lodge in Fifield, WI was always the highlight of the year.  Pat was an avid reader and an unstoppable knitter.  She gifted many cherished afghans, sweaters, mittens, to friends and family, and hundreds of baby hats for local hospitals.
     Pat will be dearly missed by her husband of 55 years, Gil, of Greenwood, WI;  two daughters: Andrea (Almus) Kenter of Kingston, NH,  Chantelle (Thomas) Stocco of Shorewood, WI;  four grandchildren: Linas, Daris, Magdalena, and Maxwell; one brother-in-law: Dennis Blanke of Grafton, WI; one niece, 3 nephews, other relatives and friends.
     She was preceded by her parents; one brother: James Boughner; and one sister: Judy Blanke
     In lieu of flowers, a donation in Pat’s name to the Greenwood, WI public library is welcomed.
