Patricia Ann Mueller, lovingly known as “Pati,” passed away peacefully at her home in Norman, Oklahoma, on June 1, 2026, at the age of 70.

Pati was born Patricia Ann Harper on May 15, 1956, on a United States military base in Germany. Throughout her life, she carried a vibrant spirit, a quick wit, and a heart devoted to those she loved. She was known as the class clown in her younger years and never lost her remarkable sense of humor. Her sharp mind, playful personality, and ability to make others laugh brought joy to countless family members and friends.

Above all else, Pati was deeply devoted to her family. She is survived by her beloved husband, Darrell; her children, Keith, Leah, Terri, Steven, Chase, and Jaree; 12 cherished grandchildren; and 2 precious great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her loving sisters, Gayle, Janet, and Lisa, and her brother, Bob, all of whom held a special place in her heart.

Pati was preceded in death by her beloved son, Erik, who passed away on September 14, 2017. The loss of Erik profoundly affected her, and she carried his memory with her every day. She was also preceded in death by her sister, Debbie, who passed away on December 17, 2020. Though the separation was difficult, she held firmly to her faith and the hope of being reunited with both of them again soon.

A woman of many talents and interests, Pati found joy in sewing, reading, and writing stories. She had a creative spirit and a vivid imagination that she expressed through her writing. She also faithfully tuned in to her favorite television program, Judge Judy, never missing an episode. Whether she was creating something with her hands, getting lost in a good book, or sharing a funny remark, she had a way of making everyday moments memorable.

Pati was caring, loyal, and selfless. One of the greatest examples of her loving nature was the devoted care she provided to her father in his final years. She willingly gave of her time and energy to ensure he was cared for and loved.

Her faith in Jesus Christ was the foundation of her life. As a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she found strength, comfort, and purpose in the gospel. Her testimony sustained her through life’s joys and sorrows and shaped the compassionate, faithful woman so many knew and loved.

Pati will be remembered for her humor, loyalty, creativity, unwavering love for her family, and enduring faith. While her absence leaves an immeasurable void, her legacy lives on in the lives she touched, the stories she shared, the laughter she inspired, and the family she loved so dearly.

Her family finds comfort in knowing that she is at peace and looks forward to the joyful reunion promised through Jesus Christ.

Until we meet again, Mom, we love you.
