Patricia "Pat" Kremer

Patricia (Pat) Ann Hunke Kremer was born on July 7, 1931, the sixth of eight children. She graduated from Mandan High School at age 16, and met the love of her life on the back of a motorcycle. In their 63(!) years of marriage, Pat and Myron Kremer had eight children and were active members of Mandan First Presbyterian Church. 

An accomplished seamstress and baker, every member of her family has fond memories of Pat’s handmade dolls, Teddy bears, and purses or her signature caramel rolls, “Grandma buns”, and Christmas cookies. Her greatest gift to the world was her nurturing spirit: she loved caregiving whether it be for her own family, children at the local Head Start program, or fellow residents at the retirement community where she spent her last years. She was always up for an adventure (rollercoasters! parasailing!) and loved card games, butterflies, and Christmas music all year round. 

She is greatly missed by her eight children (Michael Kremer, Patrick Kremer, Kevin Kremer, Keith Kremer, Robin Kremer Ladd, Karol Kremer Volk, Jennifer Kremer Huschka, and Kelly Kremer), 13 grandchildren, and 20 great-grandchildren as well as all fortunate enough to know her.
