MAY SHE REST IN PEACE
Patricia Reneé Peltier was born on September 3, 1952, in Tracy, MN, to Earl and Dorothy (Maeyaert) Maertens. When she was young, she moved with her family to a farm south of Porter where she grew up with her siblings. She graduated from Canby High School in 1970. Pat worked for Northwestern Bell for a time in Marshall. On February 13, 1971, she was united in marriage to Wayne Peltier at Sts Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church in Taunton. The couple lived in Marshall for a time before moving to a farm near Cottonwood where they raised their family. Pat worked for the Wedding Belle Bridal Shop for a time. Later, she worked for the Schwan Food Company in the Marketing Department until 2008 when she went to work for the family business, P & K Fabricating.
Pat was very meticulous and organized. She enjoyed cooking and baking. She also enjoyed sewing and would alter or create many dresses and garments. She cared for a vegetable and flower garden and especially enjoyed time with family and friends at her local residence or cabin on Nest Lake. For many years, Pat struggled courageously with ALS disease.
