Patricia Pearl DeGuzman Obituary
Patricia Pearl deGuzman (née Pfiester) entered eternal life on April 3, 2023. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Eleuterio (Terry). She was 84 years old.

She is further survived by her loving grandchildren, Audrey and Natalie deGuzman, Mathew, Joseph, Kirsten, Lissa, and Peter deGuzman, and Nicole, Mara, Luke, William, and Olivia deGuzman. She is further survived by numerous family members and friends.
Pat was born in Menomonie, MI and after high school, she attended St. Agnes for nursing school. She worked at St. Michael's Hospital where she met Terry. Pat and Terry moved to Wausaukee, WI in 1963 and started a general medical practice serving a large rural area of Northern Wisconsin. They then moved to Menomonee Falls in 1969 where they raised their 4 boys.
Pat loved spending time with her family. She rarely missed a chance to support her family in all of their endeavors and was involved in the daily lives of all her grandchildren. She was a familiar face at their schools, theater productions, and sporting events. She was also a Mother and Grandmother to many more than her natural children and grandchildren.
Pat was a supportive friend, amazing cook, and dedicated volunteer. She would have frequent conversations with strangers and could uplift anyone's day. She was also an amazing quilter, who created 100+ beautiful quilts for her family and friends, and donated many more to organizations that support those in need.
Pat was a faithful servant and devout Catholic who loved life. She was a dedicated parishioner of Good Shepard in Menomonee Falls, WI and then Queen of Apostles in Pewaukee, WI.
She was loving to everyone, and loved by all who knew her. She will be deeply missed.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to St. Vincent de Paul Meal Program or Queen of Apostles Church in her memory.
