Patricia Margaret Richards Rausch

Patricia Richards Rausch Dec 10, 1950 April 19, 2011 As you read this today, you might think that Pat Rausch has died, but you would be mistaken. You see, because of her faith in Jesus Christ, she is more alive today than she has ever been. John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Today, Pat is absent from the body but present with the Lord! Pat was a homemaker and member of First Baptist Church of Stanleyville. She loved her family and enjoyed working with children and teaching them about Gods word. She was preceded in death by her parents, Harold Thomas and Margret Angela Richards, two sisters, Marcella and Claudia, and one brother, John. She is survived by her husband of 37 years, Terry Sr., 3 children, Terry Jr. and wife Michelle of East Bend, Jason-US Navy stationed at Everett, Washington, and Melissa Proctor and husband Rick of Pfafftown; 5 grandchildren, Christopher Aaron, Emma Haleigh, Lukas Robert, Matthew Allen, and Melody Rose; two brothers, Charlie and Harold, and 6 sisters, Loretta, Betty Ann, Mary Elizabeth, Genevieve, Susan, and Theresa.
