Patricia Rumphol Obituary
Patricia Jean "Pat" Rumphol, of Woodville, Wisconsin, passed away on January 27, 2026, at the age of 76.
She was born on September 16, in Baldwin, Wisconsin. Pat had a remarkable zest for life. Anyone who knew her would agree—she had a soft spot for feeding the wildlife around her home, especially raccoons and birds. Her passion for collecting teddy bears echoed her warm heart, and her love for hosting garage sales became a wonderful way for her to connect with neighbors and friends. In her spare time, she found joy in lawn care, collecting unique agates and rocks, and immersing herself in the pages of a good book or crossword puzzle. Her spirit shone the brightest in her relationship with her husband, Jerry; their bond was profound and filled with love. After his passing, Pat faced an enormous void but continued to carry his memory with grace.
Pat was preceded in death by her husband Jerry; her son Shelman Hills; step-grandson Josh Jacobs; her parents, Garold & Marlys Hudson, and her sister Diane Hudson.
She is survived by her daughter Shannon (Sketch) Gustafson; step-children Angela Bandy, Ken Rumphol and Brenda Grage; 7 step-grandchildren; 2 step-great grandchildren; sisters Gloria Williams, Marlene (William) Finke; brothers Ralph Hudson, Leslie (Kaz) Hudson, Clifford (Patsy) Hudson, Merwin (Jackye) Hudson, Dale (Jule) Hudson and many nieces, nephews, friends & family.
Memorial Service 10:30 AM Saturday April 25 at New Centerville United Methodist Church, 36 192nd St, Baldwin.
