Patricia “Pat” M. Battig, age 83, passed away early Saturday morning, July 21, 2018, at her home in St. Louis. Pat was born December 9, 1934 in Poplar Bluff, MO, a daughter to the late Fred and Thelma (McIver) Armes.
On June 10, 1961, Pat married Donald Joseph Battig Sr., who survives at their home.
Pat cherished her family and her pets and she loved to travel. She cared deeply for others, was always available with a listening ear, and could solve the world’s problems over a cup of coffee or an Old Fashioned. She was caring, hospitable, generous, quick-witted and sometimes a little sassy. She was so loved by all who knew her.
In addition to her husband of 57 years, Pat is survived by her son Kurt Battig and his wife Kim; Paula (Battig) Weidler and her husband, Eric; her step-son, Donald Battig Jr. and Sue Battig; her grandchildren, Christopher Battig and his wife Sarah, Sarah Wilhelm, Joshua Weidler and his wife Laura, Kara Battig, Jill Weidler and Kate Battig; her great-grandchildren, Chloe Howland, Avery Battig, Aiden Wiemann, Luke, Wyatt, and Lucy Weidler; her brother Tom Armes and his wife Pat, her sisters-in-law, Miriam, Marge, Linda, and Kathy, as well as many cousins, nieces, nephews, dear friends and beloved pets.
