Pat Woolman Hollis, 97, of Friendship Village, died at Lakeview Landing at Friendship Village, Friday, August 9, 2019.

Pat was born April 28, 1922, in Lincoln, IA, the daughter of Claus H. and Helena Harders Mildenstein. She graduated from East High School in 1940. Pat married Hubert G. “Lefty” Woolman January 1, 1941 in Waterloo; he died February 23, 1984. She married J. Gordon Hollis March 21, 1987 in Waterloo; he died August 5, 2008.

She worked for Rath Packing Company, J.C. Penney, and retired from Cadillac Lanes after 15 years at the control desk. She was a member of Amvets Post #19 Auxiliary and the Waterloo Bowling Association. Pat enjoyed bowling (she twice bowled a 600 series), cards, crafts, but above all loved spending time with her family and friends. She was a “HUGGER” and loved to give hugs and receive them. Maybe that was why she never met a stranger who wasn’t soon a friend.
