Patricia Dyer, age 90. October 10, 2020, died at home, Lafayette, IN

Born August 14, 1930 on a farm northwest of Wolcott, Pat was the fifth child of Frank and Anna Mae (Kohley) Wagner.

She was a lifetime member of Sacred Heart Church in Remington. She attended grade school at Sacred Heart School and was a 1947 graduate of Wolcott High School.

On June 6, 1953 she married Herbert Dyer. He died January 13, 2010.

After graduation Pat worked at Bryan Mfg. in Monticello in the Accounting and Payroll Department for 9 years. From 1968-1983 she was a managing editor of the Wolcott Enterprise. In 1983 she began working at Bank of Wolcott as a teller, advancing to the position of Cashier and Assistant Trust Officer when she retired in 1996.

Pat was a charter member of Gamma Upsilon chapter of Psi Iota Xi philanthropic sorority, also a member of the Butterflies, the T & C card club and retired member of Altar and Rosary Society.

Pat was an amazing mother and grandmother, and her family was her pride and joy. She enjoyed their visits, the family get togethers and her travels with them. She was able to visit most of the United States as well as several European countries, Canada, and Mexico during her life. In Germany, she met relatives of her grandfather, Nicholas Wagner, who were still living in the house where he was born and raised before he came to America in 1873.

Pat was a dedicated homemaker. She loved to cook and bake and create new recipes. Reading, playing cards, games and word puzzles were favorite pastimes. She also enjoyed gardening and preserving the harvest.
