Obituary for Patricia C. Woolf (updated)

PATRICIA C. WOOLF

Patricia C. Woolf passed away peacefully on the morning of November 18, 2020 at the age of 75. The daughter of Harry and Norma (Fritsch) Abplanalp, was born in Batesville, Indiana on April 8, 1945.

She was a loving mother and wife, a devoted friend and a kind soul. Anyone who knew her, knew that her generosity was boundless. Patricia was an avid bird watcher, boater, craft maker, gardener and keeper of many pets over the years. There wasn’t an animal in need that she would turn away. She also loved being with her family, especially at the holidays. Each Christmas she would craft an ornament for every member of the family. These little “specials” are family treasures.

She will be dearly missed by her son, Chris and daughter-in-law, Pamela (Volk) of Chicago; brother Ron Abplanalp and his wife, Bertie (Stein); sister-in-law, Pam Abplanalp (the late David) and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Frank Woolf of 51 years, her sister, Marjorie White and brother, David Abplanalp.

Memorial Mass will be Friday, March 19, 2021 at 1 p.m., at St. Louis Catholic Church in Batesville. Burial following at St. Louis Church Cemetery. After services, all are invited to the Knights of Columbus Hall in Batesville for a gathering of friends and family.
