Pat was born on March 5, 1929 to Joseph and Franceska (Hoffman) Paul on a farm near St. Anthony, ND. She married the love of her life, Steven Mildenberger, on October 5, 1948 in St. Anthony.

Pat was one of a kind. She was strong, fearless, and brought fun everywhere she went. She gave and received smiles with everyone she met. She kept herself busy working as a self-employed painter/wood finisher and a well-loved café employee at Kist Livestock. Her passions in life included German baking and cooking, her faith, and being there for her family.

Pat was preceded in death by her husband, Steve; her parents; nine brothers, Joseph, Jack, George, John, Fabian, Nickodemus, Peter, Tony, and Leo; and two sisters, Margaret and Kathryn.
