Patricia L. “Patti” Schooler devoted, and loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother began her eternal journey on March 4, 2024, with her family by her side. She was 84 years old.
Patti was born on November 2, 1939, in Beech Grove, Indiana to the late Jesse and Gertrude Barnes. She graduated from Thomas Carr Howe High School in 1957. She was a fifty-year member of the Beech Grove Chapter of Order of the Eastern Star.
Patti married Frank R. Schooler on March 26, 1966. They were blessed with three children: Randy, Amy, and Lori. Patti worked as a teacher’s assistant, and as a greeter at Walmart for ten years. She loved dressing up on holidays to bring joy to shoppers. She also served as a volunteer for elementary schools and for St. Francis Hospital.
Patti was an avid Indianapolis Colts and Indiana Pacers fan. She loved to watch professional bowling; loved planting flowers and especially loved children and babies. She was just a kid at heart!
Patti is survived by her children, Randy Schooler, Amy Kattau (Ron), and Lori Sheehan (David); four granddaughters, Brianna, Allie, Hayley “Peanut,” and Abby; two great-granddaughters, Lidia, and Brooke, and three nephews, Eddy, Bryan, and Tommy.
In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband, Frank; two brothers and a sister.
Patti will be remembered for her wonderful loving heart and her wildly funny sense of humor.
