Patricia Greenwald

Greenwald, Patricia Bentley, Michigan Formerly of Frankenmuth

Passed away peacefully with her family by her side at Brians House on Wednesday January 8, 2020, at the age of 83 years. Patricia was born December 8, 1936 to the late William and Dorothy (Warner) Rivett in Saginaw. She attended Saginaw High School. Patricia later married the love of her life and best friend, Gerald "Jerry" Greenwald on April 10, 1954 in Saginaw. The two shared 65 wonderful years together.

She was a woman of many talents. Patricia loved to garden, do arts and crafts and ceramics. She was also a skilled bowler. Her hobbies included going to the casino, playing bingo, having card parties, and boating. Patricia was an avid baker; she especially loved the Christmas season. During Christmas she would bake cookies for everyone. Most of all she was devoted to her Christian faith and spending time with her loving family.

Surviving besides her husband Jerry are her two children Roxanne (Jan) Salgat, Gerald K. (Eileen Christmas) Greenwald and her son in law Barry Shafer. She is also survived by her granddaughter Jessica Ann Greenwald, her sister Sandra Schnieder and many nieces and nephews.
