Patricia June (Miller) Malkemus

     Patricia June Malkemus, also known as Pat, Patty June, and Junie, (nee Miller), 95, died peacefully in her sleep July 12, 2025. Patricia lived a life of experience and love, her life taking her to locations including St. Louis, Chicago, and Door County, where she and her husband retired, living a wonderful life in Egg Harbor.

     She graduated from Sturgeon Bay High School in 1948, and afterwards Patricia attended Northwestern University, where she was a member of the Kappa Delta sorority, attaining her bachelor's degree. After college, she met and fell in love with her eventual husband William (Bill) F. Malkemus II. She worked as a school teacher and as an interior designer in her professional life.Together with Bill, they raised three wonderful children, and spent a life of love and happiness for 66 years of marriage. Patricia and Bill loved to travel, seeing the world, including amazing trips to Europe, the Bahamas, and Hawaii. Anyone who interacted with them knew theirs was a true love story.

     Patricia was a wonderful wife, sister, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend. She was a social butterfly, and she and Bill loved hosting get togethers with their friends, to whom she was fiercely loyal, and cared deeply. That loyalty and affection was repaid in kind by those friends, who loved Patricia dearly.

     She was deeply connected to several charities, including the Wounded Warrior Project, Birch Creek Music Performance Center, Doctors Without Borders, and others. It was of utmost importance to Patricia that she share her good fortune with others, and she went out of her way to do so.

     Patricia was preceded in death by her husband William Malkemus, her sister Elaine Jaeger (nee Miller), and great-grandchild Sydney Granger.

     Patricia is survived by three children, Jeanne Brinkley, Rick (Lisa) Malkemus, and Tricia (Paul) Hart; grandchildren Jeremiah Eric Granger, Jason (Lillian) Granger, Amanda Brinkley, Clayton Hart, Jonathon Hart, and Colin Hart; and great grandchildren Mary Granger, Cameron Granger, Kelsey Granger, Gloria Malkemus, and Josephine Bentley-Hart.

     Private family services will be held at a later date for Patricia.
