Patricia Ann McHalsky “Patti Norma” passed away peacefully on November 11, 2025 at the age of 72, she fought hard but lost her battle with cancer.

Pat was a caring and giving person. She enjoyed family and friends being a babysitter, care giver and birth coach. Born on March 23, 1953 her early life consisted of attending St. Joseph and St. William grade schools and Catholic Memorial high school in Waukesha, graduating class of 1971. She was a hard worker at Burger King on Delafield Street, Lakeview Gardens in Muskego, Quality Aluminum Casting Company, and RTE / Cooper Power / Eaton Corp. were her places of employment.

Cooking, Baking and caring for her ferrets kept her busy at home, a true animal lover. Pool, recreational softball, bowling and golf were her favorite physical events. She loved fishing, attending plays, movies and local music concerts. Pat was a passionate music lover with the ‘Blues’ being her favorite type. Ike’s Pub in Pewaukee was her favorite venue. Being a hard-core Brewer’s fan she was glad to attend their 1982 world series games.

Pat was very proud to achieve her life’s goal of living on a lake. Being a transformed, ‘Pewaukee Person’, she purchased a home on Pewaukee Lake. Unfortunately, physical maladies decreased her mobility and ability to get out on the water.
