Patricia Grundtisch Obituary

Patricia A. "Pat" Lang Grundtisch

Patricia "Pat" Grundtisch, 93, of Findlay, passed away at 2:50 p.m. Friday, Dec. 15, 2023, at Bridge Hospice Care Center, Bowling Green.

Pat was born July 23, 1930, in Tiffin, to Frederick and Rose (Traunero) Lang. She married Maury Grundtisch on June 20, 1950, and he preceded her in death March 18, 2008.

She is survived by her sons, Mike Grundtisch (Laura) and Dave Grundtisch (Katha).

Pat was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Florian "Bud" Lang; and sister, Mary Margaret (Don) Sands.

She graduated from Tiffin Calvert High School in 1948 and attended Heidelberg College.

She loved to garden and had many beautiful plants and flowers. She actually "liked" mowing the yard and enjoyed a refreshing gin cocktail on the patio.

Animals had a special place in her heart, including the snakes, lizards, turtles, and birds the boys would bring home. The two dachshunds, Skeeter and Noel, Kate and Kittycats Poch, Kootzie, Rodman, Sparky and Barney (to name a few), were all treasured, pampered, and well-fed.

The Courier crossword puzzle never had a chance as she swiftly filled the small boxes over a cup of coffee. The New York Times puzzle would go down to the melodies of Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Andy Williams, and Willie Nelson.

Pat was a diehard Cleveland Guardians and Browns and Notre Dame fan (that had to hurt).

There will be a private family funeral at a later date.

Memorials may be made to Hancock Park District, 1424 East Main Cross Street, Findlay, Ohio, 45840, and Humane Society & SPCA of Hancock County, 4550 Fostoria Ave., Findlay, Ohio, 45840.
