Patricia Vonfeldt

Vonfeldt, Patricia “Pat”, 83, loving mother and grandmother, went home to the Lord and has been reunited with her husband, Fritz, of 55 years.  She passed with her family at her side on August 16, 2019.  It has been said that while Fritz was the foundation of their family, Pat was the glue that held it altogether.  She loved quietly and strongly and believed her calling in life was to care for her husband, children and family.  She served as caregiver, confidant, babysitter and any other role one can think of and shined brightest in her role as Grandma.  One of the highlights for nearly all of her grandchildren was getting to “pend” the night at grandma and grandpa’s house…good times indeed.

The last 5 years of her life were spent as wife to second husband Rosemond “Erv” Ervin.  Prior to marrying, they were sister/brother –in-law for nearly 60 years.  They served each other as loving companions and enjoyed reminiscing about the “good ‘ol days”.  Erv exposed Pat to RV travel.  Being somewhat leery at first, she came to embrace that mode of travel as they travelled the country visiting family and friends.

Survivors include her second husband, Rosemond D. Ervin; Sister Marilyn Zimmerman (Leon); sons, Ken (Kyle) Vonfeldt and Ron Vonfeldt; daughters, Becky (Les) Langley and Elaine (Trent) Sauder; 13 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; and one great-great granddaughter.  Viewing and visitation with family present will be from 6-8 p.m. on Tuesday, August 20, 2019, at Broadway Mortuary.  A rosary will be at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 21, 2019.  A funeral and Mass will be held at 10:00 a.m. at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church at 861 N. Socora, Wichita, KS.  Please share condolences at www.CozineMemorial.com.
