Pat Stock

Patricia J. “Pat” (Schlemmer) Stock was born September 14, 1941 in Hastings, Nebraska to Reginald and Alice Jean (Christensen) Schlemmer. Pat grew up in Schuyler, Nebraska, attended Rogers Elementary school, and graduated from Schuyler High School in 1960. She went on to attend Wayne State College, as well as Chadron State College, where she graduated with her degree in Elementary education. While growing up in Schuyler, Pat enjoyed going to barn dances. Pat married Bob Jacquot, and the couple welcomed their daughter, Jackie. On August 24, 1990, Pat married Jim Stock at St. John’s Catholic Church in Valley, Nebraska, and she became Mom to Chris, Dave, and Jon Stock. Pat and Jim spent their years together living in Valley. Pat worked as a first grade teacher, and spent over 30 plus years teaching at the Valley Elementary school. She was a proud teacher, and was always working on new creative ideas for her classroom. When she wasn’t preparing for class, Pat enjoyed sewing, was an avid reader, and loved watching all Husker sporting events. She was such a Husker fan that she disliked criticism of any of the teams, and was always proud to say, “Go Huskers!”. Pat was a positive, spunky, kind, selfless, creative, and honest woman. Her favorite color was purple, she loved sunflowers, and she liked to drink a Diet Pepsi, or maybe a Margarita when dining at El Bee’s. She loved to travel, and never wanted to be a bother to anyone. Pat also took pride in mowing and caring for the lawn, and then indulging in some beers on the deck afterwards. She cherished her daughter, Jackie, her marriage to Jim, and the birth of her grandkids. Pat will be remembered as a kind, honest, strong, and loving wife, mom, sister, grandmother, and friend. Pat died at her apartment at Elk Ridge Village Independent Living in Elkhorn, Nebraska on Sunday, June 9, 2019 at the age of 77 years, 8 months, and 25 days.
