Patricia “Pat” McQuisten, 82, of Laramie, Wyoming, died March 7, 2021 under the care of hospice at her daughter and son-in-law’s residence in Colorado. She was born February 14, 1939 in Cheyenne, Wyoming to Boyd and Sadie Herstein. She grew up on a wheat farm east of Wheatland with two siblings, George Herstein and Eilene Hopkins.
She attended elementary and high school in Wyoming, graduating Valedictorian of Wheatland High School in 1957. On August 30, 1959 she married Richard McQuisten in Wheatland. She lived in several states following her husband in his employment and enjoyed her retirement from the University of Wyoming as she and her husband traveled in Hawaii, Mexico, Europe and Alaska.
She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Michelle and Shawn Sullivan; two grandsons, Thomas (Alison) and Jacob, great grandson Beckett Josiah and a beloved brother-in-law, Marvin Hopkins of Thermopolis. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Richard, son Michael, a baby daughter, Penny Jo, and her sister and brother.
Due to covid-19, a service may be held later this year. In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to Emmaus Road Community Church, emmausroadcc.org, who were a blessing to her and Richard.
Sorry to learn about Pat . . . I worked with Dick and enjoyed both of them and know they are both missed.
Michelle and family, I send my condolences at this most difficult time. I prayed a lot for Mrs. Pat and I find comfort knowing she is with our Lord. Please know that you, your family and all who loved her are in my thoughts and prayers.
