Edina - (The following obituary was authored by Patsy's late husband Tom, and discovered in her personal papers):

Patsy is survived by sons, Tom (Jacquie) and Jack (Molly); son-in-law, Tom Greene (Paula); 15 grandchildren: Tripp, Jack, Bobby, Katie, Joe, Bill and John Emmer; Emily and Molly Greene; Katy and Emma Rose Calvert; Sarah Mae Greene; Elizabeth, Lucy and Margaret Emmer; sister, Mary Merz Porter; brother, John. She was preceded by her parents, Jack and Marion (Beaner) Flood; father, Joseph Kelly; special Aunt, Nancy Kelly; brother, Billy; daughter, Bridget Greene and her beloved husband, Tom, who she first met in 1952 in the sixth grade at Our Lady of Grace School. Patsy and Tom were married in 1960, at Our Lady of Grace. Patsy was a member of the Gold Mine Antique Shop in Wayzata, MN where she made millions! (Of friends that is . . .) She was truly special. Life with this woman was huge! The phone rang all day – she was always helping somebody have a happy day – laugh – it just never stopped! Patsy's greatest accomplishment was her three children who have always been in her thoughts and prayers from the day they were born – her success with her own carried over to her grandchildren. She had a special relationship with each one of them! She was a faithful and generous friend to all who knew her – it seemed she had hundreds of friends, for which she was always grateful. A skilled and determined card player and golfer, she seldom won, preferring to laugh and enjoy a friend's success. Mass of Christian Burial 11:00am, Thursday, April 9th at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church, 5071 Eden Avenue, Edina with visitation beginning at 10:00am. Private Interment St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery, Minneapolis. In lieu of flowers, memorials preferred to the Bridget Emmer Greene Memorial Scholarship Fund at Visitation School https://www.visitation.net/support-vis/make-a-gift or Our Lady of Grace Catholic School. https://www.olgparish.org/donate.
