Patricia Ann "Pat" Engh, age 84, of Rochester, died Sunday (Dec. 29, 2013) at Cottagewood Senior Community in Rochester. Patricia Ann Wright was born Nov. 22, 1929 in North Platte, Nebraska to Herbert and Dorothy (Harris) Wright. She lived most of her early life in Lincoln, Nebraska where she graduated from high school and attended the University of Nebraska. She worked in Lincoln as a secretary for a title abstract firm. On July 22, 1949 she met James "Jim" Engh whom she would later marry on Dec. 2, 1950 in Lincoln. The couple moved to Rochester in 1957. She enjoyed homemaking and spending time with her family, and was a long-time member of Zumbro Lutheran Church. For more than thirty years, she served as a member of the St. Mary's Hospital Volunteers. She and Jim enjoyed travel to the Scandinavian countries and Western Europe, but her home in Rochester was always her destination.
Pat is survived by her husband Jim; two sons Steven of Sioux Falls, South Dakota; and Donald of Rochester; four grandchildren, Derek Engh, Karla (Michael) Bandemer, Erik Engh, and Christina Engh; and three great-grandchildren. Her parents, and her two daughters-in-law, preceded her in death.
