Patricia A Schlabs

Patricia Ann Schlabs of Cheyenne, passed away at Davis Hospice Center surrounded by her loving family on July 21, 2024. She was born June 8, 1945, in Hot Springs, SD to James and Gladys Hallett. Patricia was a bartender for many years at the Two-Bar Bowl. She had a knack for making everything fun and special for those around her. She loved decorating the bar for every holiday, birthday, and special occasion and was the queen of creating the perfect big game bracket or pool so everyone could enjoy the event. She made the bar a special place, and anyone who was a fan of Cheers can understand. She always lit up the room no matter what she was doing.

She loved her kids and grandkids and enjoyed watching them in every athletic event or activity they participated in from the time they began little league baseball to the day they graduated high school. It didn’t matter if it was a home or away event, you could always spot her front and center in the bleachers. As her kids got older, you could find her cheering them and their teams on at the softball field even as adults. That love of her family continued with her attending everything her grandchildren participated in. She was their biggest fan and continued attending all events until her body would no longer allow it. After that she made certain to call, listen on the radio, read the newspaper, and absolutely loved hearing about their accomplishments. She never missed reading, recapping an event with them, or cutting out an article in the paper until the very end. She did not get away much, but she loved the times spent with her daughter and grandkids in California at the vineyard, beach, and ocean.

At home, she loved gardening, decorating for the holidays, crafting, Denver Bronco football, and she loved preparing for bowling tournaments and always enjoyed a good parade. She was a selfless person, always making sure everyone was taken care of before herself. She was kind and thoughtful and never missed wishing someone a happy birthday. She instilled those traits in her own kids teaching and showing them the importance of kindness and caring for others. She was strong, courageous and independent and although her resources were not plentiful, she managed to always provide for her family and friends no matter the situation.

She is survived by her children, Elizabeth Martin, Mike and Sherri Schlabs, Jerry and Kim Schlabs, and James and Amber Schlabs; as well as her sister, Mary Lou and Wilbert Giedd; and grandchildren, Steven and Joshua Martin, Chelsie Schlabs and Derek Barker, and Garet and Bradie Schlabs.

Patricia was preceded in death by her parents, James and Gladys Hallett.

Services will be held on Monday, July 29, 2024, at 2:00 pm at Wiederspahn Radomsky Chapel of the Chimes.
