OBITUARY
Patricia Grace Jotzat (nee Kneitz), who loved to be called Ma/Madre, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family on April 16, 2024, after a long battle with Polycystic kidney disease (PKD).
Patricia, a.k.a Patty, Trish & Patsy McCloud, was born on December 20, 1961 in Chicago, IL, the oldest of four children to the late Marilyn (Nowicki) and Kenneth Kneitz.
Surviving Patty is her husband of 35 years, Ronald Jotzat, Jr. But her pride and joy, her legacy and the center of her world were her beloved 7 children. Patty was Ma to Amy (Michael), Doyle (Betty) Tunnat, Tasha, Ronnie (Sahara), Veronica, Jordan & Orbee, her 16 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
She was the beloved sister to the late Mark Kneitz, William (Christina) Kneitz and late Kenneth Kneitz and the fond Aunt of Marcus Kneitz.
Ma was truly one of a kind, the most selfless and giving person. She always put the needs of others before her own. She was a strong woman, who faced every challenge in her life with courage and a pure heart. She was fiercely dedicated to her family and nothing was more important to her than her beloved children, always putting them first, always sacrificing herself for their wellbeing.
She was a true role model who will truly be missed by all that knew her.
