Patricia Monica Schenk (née Moriarty), 83, of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully at her home on March 28, 2026, surrounded by her family. Born on June 29, 1942, in Mauston, Wisconsin, to Edward and Geraldine Moriarty, Patricia graduated from Madonna High School and her undergraduate and Masters degree from Cardinal Stritch University. She dedicated 47 years to her career as a teacher at Badger and Big Foot high schools.

Beyond her professional life, she was a devoted mother and grandmother who found her greatest joy in cooking, collecting recipes, and entertaining at her home. She will be remembered for her wonderful meals and her infectious laughter.

She is survived by her children, Edward Schenk and his wife Miriam, Carrie Wilson, and Tracy Schenk; and her grandchild and his spouse, Miguel and Robin Forero.

A celebration of life will be held in Late Spring 2026 in the Lake Geneva area. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Aurora Hospice Center.
