Patricia Josephine Rueth was born March 13,
1949, rural Loyal, the daughter of Edward and Florence (Schmidt) Rueth. She grew
up on the family farm and received her education at St. Anthony's Catholic
School, graduated from Loyal High School, and was a graduate from UW-Stevens
Point with a degree in Elementary Education. She was united in marriage at St.
Anthony's Catholic Church on July 24, 1971 to Donald C. Bangart. In July 2011
Patricia and Donald celebrated a very special 40th wedding anniversary. Together
they enjoyed many years of farming, quiet time at the cabin, small trips, and
spending time with family and friends, especially their granddaughters.
They farmed and raised their four children in Auburndale for the first 33 years
of their lives together. Pat was a very dedicated wife, mother, grandmother,
sister, volunteer, and genuine leader. She gave decades of service as a leader
and volunteer for 4-H, FFA and FFA Alumni, Wood County Holstein Breeders, and
St. Mary's Catholic Church in Auburndale. Pat always donated time and resources
to special fund raisers and youth activities. Most recently she had made and
gifted countless tie blankets. In 2004, the family moved their dairy farm
(Viaduct Holsteins) to the Greenwood/Loyal area. She was a member of St.
Anthony's Catholic Church in Loyal and always encouraged her family to be
involved in community activities. Pat loved cooking and baking and shared that
talent for all to enjoy. She made a special effort to participate in the Clark
County Relay for Life in July 2013.
She will be dearly missed by her
husband of 42 years, Donald Bangart; her four children: David (Amber) of
Greenwood, Mary (Michael) Ketchum of Altura, MN, and their daughters Katelyn and
Kyli Ketchum, Dennis of Loyal, and Michelle "Mikki" (Darrin) Wirt of Greenwood.
Patricia was the oldest of ten brothers and sisters and is survived by: Robert
(Marie) Rueth, Thomas (Anne) Rueth, Ralph Rueth, Roger (Alora) Rueth all of
Loyal, Susan (Michael) Gumz of Athens, Bengi (Lawrence) Quelle of Loyal, Roy
(Helen) Rueth of Unity, Rose Lindekugel (Neal Mondloch) of Loyal, Kay (John)
Rafferty of New Brighton, MN; numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and many
friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Florence
Rueth.
Her courage and strength has been admired by her family and
friends. Her light and inspiration will be dearly missed by all who loved and
knew her. We will love you always and forever, your Donnie and your children.
The family requests that memorials be given to the Franciscan Missionary
Sisters of Africa or to the American Cancer Society.
