Patricia Mary Ullrich

Patricia Mary Ullrich, 70, of Eagle River, passed away on February 26, 2025. She was born March 25, 1954, in Chicago. She grew up in Rolling Meadows, where she attended Forest View High School in Arlington Heights. After graduating from high school, she moved to Stevens Point where she attended UWSP and then North Central Technical Institute where she obtained an associate degree in nursing. Later she obtained her bachelor’s degree in nursing. In Stevens Point is where she met her husband, Carl Ullrich. 

She was worked as an orthopedic RN at St. Michaels hospital for 10 years. During this time, she married her husband Carl who later became an RN and worked at St. Michaels hospital as well. 

Living in Stevens Point, Carl and Patty had a son Andrew, and a daughter Julie. After the death of their son Andy, they moved to Minocqua, where they were both employed by the Marshfield Clinic. 

Patty was a warm loving soul with a witty dry sense of humor. She touched the lives of many around her and was greatly loved by all her colleagues, friends, and family. 

She loved to read, shop, buy presents for her granddaughters, and go on road trips with Carl. Anyone who went shopping with Patty knew she would shop until they dropped! Nobody could keep up with her love for shopping! 

She is survived by her husband: Carl; daughter: Julie (Chad) Christensen; granddaughters: Nora, Natalie and Ellie; sister: Cathe; brother: Timothy; as well as nieces and nephews.
