Obituary of Elaine Margaret ‘Pat’ Kacher

Elaine Margaret "Pat" Kacher, born 8/16/1923, died 5/2/2016 at the age of 92. She always told her children that she couldn't die yet because she knew they still needed her. At last she trusted them enough to leave them on their own. Predeceased by her husband of 60 years, Albert Joseph Kacher, she is survived by her five children, Sandra Kacher (Ken Ramberg), Larry Kacher (Pauline), Kari (Tom) McElveen, Michael Kacher and Kathy Kacher (Mark) Dunham. She was known as Nonny Pat to her beloved 12 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. She loved her family above all else, although a good party came in a close second. She was an adventurous cook, a wonderful hostess and a lover of laughter. Proud of her 100% Irish heritage, she will be well remembered for her smiling Irish eyes. Rest in peace, Mom. You can trust that we have enough "Mom Stories" to last for generations. Memorial will take place at Valley Ridge Care Center, 1921 West Burnsville Parkway, Burnsville. Visitation at 11 AM, service at Noon on Monday, May 9, 2016. Light lunch to follow. Memorials to family for memorial bench at Moir Park in Bloomington.
