Pat Pusateri

Patricia (Pat) Marie Pusateri, born December 29, 1956, passed away on October 1, 2026.

Pat was the loving wife of Richard Pusateri for 49 years, and the amazing mom of Gina Pusateri and Angela Pusateri. She was a younger sister to Bill Fischer and the older sister to Cindy (Fischer) Rohde and John Fischer. She left this earth to be with her mother, Therese Fischer, and sister Mary Kay Fischer.

She gave her two daughters wonderful childhoods, and loved her nephews Bob Rohde, Tim Rohde, and Paddy Rohde with all of her heart.

Pat was known for her many talents. She was a gifted artist, using cakes, yarn, fabric, or even a simple note card as her mediums. She had the most elegant hands that were used to decorate thousands and thousands of cakes at the Jewel bake shop for over 30 years. She quilted and sewed and crocheted and knit. Later in life, her hands were always busy with a word puzzle.

She always had a kind word for everyone she met. She loved children, especially the kids in her life; Wyatt and Callan Rohde, Sullivan, Campbell and McKinley Rohde, Joseph and Audrey Gibson, and Ty Robinson. She was a mother to all: led girl scout troops, volunteered at swim meets, and never turned her back on a child in a bad situation where she could help.

She loved her pets and shopping at thrift stores. She loved silly jokes and playing pranks, especially on her unsuspecting husband. She loved South Haven, Michigan, and the Wisconsin State Fair. She loved Mexican food and Cat Stevens. She carried a heavy load as caretaker to all, and worked hard to break cycles to do better for her own family than what she had. Most of all she loved her family. She will be missed dearly.
