Patricia was born on December 15, 1943, in Amherst, Wisconsin, to Bruno and Stella (Kubisiak) Cieslewicz. Her family moved to Milwaukee when she was young, where she attended St. Patrick’s Grade School and South Division High School.
On November 30, 1963, Patricia was united in marriage to Wayne D. Lemcke at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Milwaukee. The couple began their life together in Milwaukee before settling in West Allis for eight years. They later moved to East Troy, where they lived for 21 years, and eventually retired to Adams in 1995.
Patricia was a devoted member of St. Joseph Catholic Church. She had a deep love for nature and enjoyed painting, gardening, and caring for her flowers. Her gentle spirit and creative soul touched all who knew her.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her son, Scott Lemcke; her brother, James Cieslewicz; and sisters-in-law, Karen and Mary.
Patricia is survived by her beloved husband, Wayne Lemcke of Adams; son, Jeff (Elise) Lemcke of Crawfordville, FL; daughter, Kim Lemcke of Reedsburg, WI; and siblings: Fred, John (Marianne), Willy (Mija), Tom (Christine), Ken, and Bonnie. She is further survived by ten grandchildren, as well as many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
