Patricia (Pat) Corwin Hartwig was surrounded by love as she passed on into the arms of her husband and son.
She was born November 12, 1934 to Floyd and Beatrice Corwin. She graduated in 1952 from Lexington High School. In 1954, she married the love of her life, Richard Hartwig, who she met writing to servicemen who were deployed overseas.
They made a loving home in the Lucas area and brought three children into the world: Gary, Laurie and Angie.
Pat enjoyed gardening, sewing, crossword puzzles, baking the best pies, and watching her birds, but most of all she loved caring for her family. She especially loved doting on her grandchildren, and even great-grandchild Luka.
She is survived by her daughters Laurie Compton (Gary Lanser) and Angie (Dennis) Schwechheimer; grandchildren Olivia Compton, Joe Compton, Shane Compton, Leah (Ryan Edwards) Schwechheimer, Jacob (Corinne Comstock) Schwechheimer; great-grandson Luka Schwechheimer and arriving in May, great-granddaughter Lily Schwechheimer, who she wanted to hold desperately; her Corwin nieces and nephews and their families; her best friend Dorothy Bonin; and of course, her bonus children Greg and Deb Fink, Rick Gardener, Vicky Garcia, Hope Evans, Jill Wentz, and Heather Christian.
She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband Richard Hartwig, her son Gary “Flatbusch” Hartwig, her sister Charlene (John) Reiter, brothers Bill (Elsie) Corwin and Bud (Eunie) Corwin, and son-in-law Tom Compton.
In lieu of flowers, Patricia’s family asks loved ones make donations in her memory to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Snyder Funeral Homes is privileged to oversee Patricia’s arrangements and care for her family during this time.
