Patricia “Pat” Koller, age 78, of Princeton, passed away at her home on Monday, January 13, 2025. She was born on June 19, 1946, in Bayfield, WI, the daughter of Vernon and Myrtle (DeRosier) Jackson.
Pat married Dick Koller on January 10, 1975, in Waupun, WI. Pat attended technical school to become a cosmetologist. She worked for many years at Louise’s La Boutique in Green Lake and then at New Image Hair Salon in Ripon before retiring.
Pat’s family was her pride and joy and she was the happiest when they could all be together. She was an excellent cook and baker, preparing countless family meals, as an expression of her love to others. Nearing the end of her life, she especially enjoyed an afternoon cocktail with her lifelong friend, Maureen Resheske, as they reminisced of their childhood antics.
Those Pat leaves behind to cherish her memory are her husband of 50 years, Dick Koller of Princeton; two daughters, Melissa (Bill) Kieckbusch of Fond du Lac, Pam (Peter) Anderson of Milwaukee; five grandchildren, Ryan (Andrea) Hollatz, Kera (Joey) Hollatz, Shawn Kieckbusch; Isaac (Grace) Anderson, Nolan Anderson; sister-in-law, Barbara Priske; many other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Vernon and Myrtle Jackson; brother, Roy Jackson.
In honoring Pat’s wishes there will be no funeral service. Rather, she has requested that her family have a private celebration of life.
Pat’s family would like to thank SSM Hospice in Green Lake for the wonderful care they provided for Pat.
