Patricia “Pat” Genthner, 66, of Waldoboro, died at Miles Memorial Hospital with her family by her side, due to the illness of cancer, on March 28.
Born in Rockland on Aug. 22, 1943, she was the daughter of Gladys and Donald Robbins.
Pat’s hobbies included Bingo, going to lawn sales, bowling, watching soap operas and the Red Sox, swimming, cooking, crossword puzzles, and most of all, spending time with her family.
She was well known by most of the community. Pat was a loving, caring, smart, funny person but also spoke her mind and never hesitated to let people know how she felt about a situation that happened or was happening. She was the most thoughtful woman, never forgetting a birthday, anniversary or Christmas. She had a gift for everyone from family to friends and never forgot a single person.
Pat’s family meant everything to her. She was devoted and enjoyed spending each and every moment that she could with them.
She was predeceased by her parents; sister, Sandra Wadsworth; father-in-law, Alfred Benner; and her great-grandson, Ashton O’Hara.
Pat is survived by her husband of 47 years, Ronald Genthner; mother-in-law, Joyce Benner; children, Debbie Winchenbach, Patty Mctague and husband Ronnie, Cindy Reed, Robin Vultee and husband Erik, and Ronnie Genthner and wife Carrie; brothers, Bobby, Mac, Richard, Billy, David and Donnie Robbins; sister, Darlene Debouris; grandchildren, Kristina, Dale and Harley Winchenbach, Chasity and Nicole Robbins, Jason Farrar, Derek Hinkley, Danielle Ward, Joshua and Bronson Simmons and Brittany, Zachary, Lexi and Kaitlyn Genthner; great-grandchildren, Tyler Simmons, Maykayla and Mickey Jr. O’Hara, Breanna Moody, Kalee-Ann Miller, Aleyah Keizer, Seth Benner, Shelby Lake, Nicolas Griffin, Hailey Farrar, Cheyenne and Derek Jr. Hinkley, Skylah and Ashlyn Ward, Audreena Simmons, and Aiden Genthner; in-laws, Mike O’Hara, Kevin Keizer, Eric Benner, Lori Farrar, Steven Ward, Ashley Leonard, Megan Green, Breanna Parlin, Lyndsey Ranquist, Tyler Miller, and Jacob and Nicolas Reynolds.
There will be no funeral, upon Patricia’s request, but a celebration of her life will take place this summer as a large cookout for family and friends. When the date and place have been set, an announcement will be placed in the paper.
