Patricia “Pat” A. Chase, 83, of Goshen died on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, at Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne.
She was born on October 31, 1941, in Grafton, Ohio to Robert and Louise (Huthsteiner) Butler.
On December 2, 1961, she married David E. Chase in North Ridgeville, Ohio. He died on September 5, 2022.
Survivors include two sons, Mark (Sandy Holderbaum) Chase of Bristol and Greg Chase of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; eight grandchildren, Austin, Cameron, Chandra, Levi, Sammy, Suzie, Morgan and Shelby; and five great-grandchildren, Chase, Jenny Lynn, Acacia, Westin and Everleigh.
Along with her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by two children, Christopher and Jenny Chase; and a sister, Beth Goodrich.
She found great joy in creation, whether it was through the careful stitch of a piece of cross-stitching, the rhythmic whir of her sewing machine, or the satisfaction of placing the final piece in a challenging puzzle. Her beautiful, handcrafted items are cherished gifts and lasting mementos that speak to her patience, skill, and love.
Beyond her crafts, she had a spirit that yearned for the outdoors. She loved to camp and travel, embracing new sights, sounds, and experiences with an open heart. She was an avid Indianapolis Colts football fan! She loved the Hallmark Channel, and going to her favorite store, JoAnn’s fabrics.
Pat will be remembered for her keen mind, her creative talent, and the warmth she brought to every campfire and every gathering.
