    Patricia E. “Pat” Jakobi (nee Schneider), age 85, of New Berlin, found peace in the early morning of Sunday, Aug. 23, 2020, at Season’s Hospice.  
     Pat was born Jan. 16, 1935, on the family farm in Grafton, Wis., to Edwin and Julia (nee Langers) Schneider.  
    She graduated from Port Washington High School in 1953.  
    She married Harry F. Jakobi on Aug. 24, 1957, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Port Washington and together they had three children.
     Pat was an active member of the New Berlin Senior citizens group since April 1998. She was president of the senior club from 2014 to 2015, a member of the kitchen band, member of the choir and served on the Memorial Committee. She was also a member of the recreation and travel committees and a Red Hat lady. She has been chairperson of the sunshine committee (and topped off her report every meeting with a joke) and led the club in singing “God Bless America” before every club meeting.
     Pat was preceded in death by her husband Harry F. Jakobi and siblings Maxine, Doris, Elmer, Laverne, Earl, Cyril, Roman, Leo, and Edwin.
    She is survived by her children Jodi (Jim) Anderson, John (Denise) Jakobi and Chuck Jakobi.
