December 23, 1941 - March 13, 2026
Patricia Ann Schempp Stelli
Age 84, passed away peacefully on March 13, 2026 in Bloomington, Minnesota, surrounded by her loving family.
Patricia was a devoted wife to her late husband, Don; a loving mother; caring sister; a proud grandmother; and a loyal friend. She brought warmth, kindness, and creativity into the lives of all who knew her.
Her life reflected gratitude for God’s many blessings. Patricia found joy in the beauty of creation through travel, fishing, and boating, and she expressed her Godgiven creativity through cooking, needlepoint, quilting, and other crafts. Music was a lifelong source of comfort and praise for her, especially classical music, opera, and she continued to play the piano with friends well into her later years.
Patricia is survived by her children, Ken (Cindy), Greg (Beth), Jerry (Ryoko), and Jeanine (Mark); her siblings, Lorna (Oliver) and Paul (Cheryl); and nieces, nephew, and cousins. She was a deeply loved grandmother to Morgan, Nicolas, Ellen, Nathan, CJ, and Minkee, each of whom brought her great joy. She will be fondly remembered by her extended family, Lorrie (Vic), Parker and many dear friends who were blessed by her warmth.
She was preceded in death by her parents, loving and devoted husband Don, her brother John, first husband David and other beloved family members and friends. We find comfort in knowing she has been reunited with them in God’s eternal peace.
The family offers heartfelt thanks to the staff at the Masonic Home for the compassionate and loving care they provided Patricia during the last two and a half years of her life.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Masonic Homes Bloomington MN.
