PATTI’S STORY:

 Patti was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's in the fall of 2014 at the young age of fifty-six.  Patti loved music, her love of music was infused throughout her life as she loved watching her children perform and danced the night away at every wedding she attended. She enjoyed travel and being a travel agent.

Patti exemplified the qualities of being humble and kind. She was the friend and family member who showed up even before you needed her.  She was present with a prayer or a word of advice and probably something sweet to eat.  Her strong faith in God guided every decision she ever made.  She taught us to shower people with kindness and lead by example. Patti fought her battle with Alzheimer’s with dignity and grace. May we follow her example and strive to live always being humble and kind.

Patricia Marie Schommer passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Monday, September 7, 2020. 

Patti is survived by her loving husband, Mark; 4 beautiful children, Jillian Hendrickson (Ryan), Meghan Lawinger (Brad), Katlyn Haws (Jake), Patrick Schommer (Maria); 11 special grandchildren.

HUMBLE & KIND, an Alzheimer's Foundation:

Our family is blessed to have an extensive network of family and friends who supported us as we lived this journey.  We know how important it is to have others walking alongside us, holding us up, and reminding us we are not alone.  To honor Patti’s memory, we have established “Humble and Kind, an Alzheimer’s Foundation”.  Our mission will be to provide help and resources to families supporting a loved one with early onset Alzheimer’s.

FUNDRAISING JOURNEY:

On September 17th 2016 we came together as a team of 60+ participants in the Minneapolis Walk to End Alzheimer’s event. Our team raised over $8,500 exceeding our goal of $6,000. We had one of the largest teams at the event! Our team name is Team Humble and Kind because that is exactly what Patti is. That walk sparked an energy in all of us to keep fundraising, since that day we have raised over $70,000 dollars under Team Humble and Kind, walking alongside thousands of people who have been affected by Alzheimer’s.
