Patricia A. Carroll

Patricia “Patti” Ann Carroll (Schappe), passed away on Friday, March 15, 2024, in Madison, after a series of complicated illnesses. She was 65 years old.

Patti was born on November 17, 1958, in Beloit, WI. She is survived by her loving husband of 45 years, Dave; two daughters, Amy (Bradley) Schermetzler and Allison (Matthew) Manguso; and three grandsons, Matthew, Jack, and Beckett. She is also survived by her father, Jim Schappe; her brother, Al (Teresa) Schappe; her sister, Lynn Grady; and her brother, Steve Schappe; in addition to numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and many loving friends. She was preceded in death by her mother, Grace Schappe; her brother-in-law, Michael Grady; and her beloved dog, Zack.

Patti was an avid gardener who prided herself on her beautiful flowers. She also enjoyed walking for exercise, cooking, and reading. She had a love for all things HGTV and enjoyed decorating and staging her home after being inspired by the likes of people like Dave and Jenny Marrs from the show “Fixer to Fabulous”. She was also fond of many Lifetime and Hallmark movies, and was frequently amused by their insane plots, a joke she often shared with her daughters.

The family wishes to express its gratitude to the staffs at St. Agnes Hospital in Fond du Lac, Prairie Ridge Hospital in Columbus, Select Specialty Hospital in Madison, and especially Meriter Hospital in Madison, who assisted the family with such care and grace at the end of Patti’s journey. We are so thankful to those of you who helped us throughout this difficult period.

There will not be a memorial service at this time. The family will hold a celebration of life at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that any donations be made in Patti’s name to the American Cancer Society.
