Patience was a retired elementary school teacher, devoted her life to education, family, and faith. Teaching was central to her identity, a role she proudly carried throughout her life.

She was a graduate of the University of Michigan, earning her degree in elementary education. In addition to her work in the classroom, she served the community for 20 years as a member of the Osseo Area School Board. 

She was a loving wife to her husband, Bruce, and a devoted mother who ensured her children had everything they needed to grow into successful adults. 

Active in her church, she served on numerous committees, taught Sunday school, and helped prepare and serve meals following funerals, quietly caring for others during times of grief. 

She is survived by her son, John Gall, and his wife, Kim; her daughter, Bethann Wiley, and her husband, Kim; and many beloved granddogs. 

Patience gave to many charities and in keeping with her generous spirit, in lieu of gifts, those wishing to honor her memory are encouraged to donate to a charity that is meaningful to them.
