MUSCATINE, Iowa – Patricia Lucille Grosjean passed away peacefully on Wednesday, February 10, 2021, at Lutheran Living Senior Campus, one week after her 88th birthday.

Funeral Mass will be at 11:00am on Monday, February 15, 2021, at St. Mathias Church in Muscatine. The Reverend Chris Weber will officiate. Pallbearers will be her grandchildren, Shawn Canada, Sara Storr, Laura Sanders, Matt Grosjean, Rebecca Blake, Christopher Long, Hunter Schmidt, Ryan Long, Genevieve Gering, and Erik Schmidt. Memorials may be made to Saints Mary & Mathias Catholic School. Online condolences may be made at www.wittichfuneralhome.com.

Patricia was born on February 3, 1933, in Muscatine, the daughter of George Koenigsaecker and Genevieve Henle Koenigsaecker Healey. She married John C. Grosjean on June 11, 1950, at St. Mathias Church, in Muscatine. He preceded her in death on November 20, 2010.

She was a lifelong resident of Muscatine and dedicated her life to her family and friends. She cherished her role as a homemaker while supporting the family business, Grosjean's Home Oil, for over 50 years.

Patricia was passionate about celebrating others, whether it be birthdays, homecomings, anniversaries, or holidays, and she especially loved bringing the whole family together for Christmas. Her table was set for any occasion and her jar of M&Ms was always full. She loved playing bridge with both family and friends, and the card game often turned to marathon when her Uncle Robert came to town, usually ending with her traditional sauerkraut, spareribs, and dumplings. Patricia valued her friendships with her lifelong girlfriends and always made time for them. She was an active member of Saints Mary & Mathias Catholic Church and was a positive influence in her family's faith.

Those left to honor her memory include four children, Cynthia Garvin and husband Steven, of Muscatine, Leo C. Grosjean and wife Kathy, of Fort Myers, Florida, Janet Schmidt and husband Reinhard, of Short Hills, New Jersey, and Julie Long and husband Tim, of Buffalo, Minnesota; 10 grandchildren; and 14 great grandchildren.

Patricia was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; one grandson, Jonathon; and five siblings.
