Pat Chettinger

After a life on this earth as well-lived as any life could possibly be, Pat Chettinger went to be with Jesus on March 2, 2023, passing away at the University of Iowa Hospitals in Iowa City after her second hard-fought bout with cancer. She was 72 years of age when she left us, but it was a very young 72. In fact, she could have easily passed for more than a decade younger than she was and her light was still shining very brightly among us, making her going so soon just that much harder to bear.

Visitation was Tuesday, March 7, at Morris Funeral Home in Guttenberg.
