Patricia Ann Goethlich

age 94, of Park Falls, passed away on Monday, August 25, 2025, at Park Manor.

Patricia was born on May 20, 1931, in Wisconsin, the daughter of Albert and Anna (Hirtreiter) Fuhrman. She grew up in the Butternut area and remained a lifelong resident there. In 1951, she married Kenneth Leroy Goethlich, and together they made their home in Butternut where they raised their family.

A devoted homemaker, Patricia, poured her love and energy into her family and community. She enjoyed knitting, crocheting, including crafting a wedding dress—reading, and baking pies. She was known for her ready smile, her warmth, and her steady devotion as a mother and grandmother.

She is survived by her daughters Sherryl (Bruce) Suzan of Winter; her grandson Terrance Scharp of Chicago; her brother Charles Fuhrman of Park Falls; her sister-in-law Bev Fuhrman of Park Falls and by nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband Kenneth; her daughter Nancy Louise; and siblings Doris and Alan.

A graveside service will take place at 11:00am on Friday September 5, 2025, at St. Cecilia Cemetery in Butternut. Deacon Robert Schienebeck will officiate.

Patricia will be remembered for her kindness, her faith, and her enduring love for her family.
