Patricia A. Harris

Patricia Ann Harris, 61, passed away on September 12, 2024, in Lisbon, Wisconsin. 

Born on May 25, 1963, in Dixon IL, Patricia, affectionately known as Patty, was a passionate friend, loving and devoted wife. She dedicated herself wholeheartedly to motherhood, nurturing her children with immense joy, warmth, and love. 

Patty was a passionate friend: her generous spirit and thoughtfulness was shared unconditionally with so many friends and colleagues. Patty's radiant smile and infectious laugh would uplift anyone around her.

After graduating from the University of Iowa in 1985, Patty worked tirelessly to build her expertise in the advertising industry. She began with Temerlin McClain in Dallas working on accounts such as American Airlines. Her energy and enthusiasm earned her important roles at Leo Burnett in Chicago for accounts such as American Girl, Cranium, and Delta Faucet. Patty was a trusted mentor and leader. Following her passion, Patty transitioned from advertising to becoming a certified yoga instructor and successfully opened her own yoga studio.

Patty is survived by her husband, Brad Balmer; children, Mairenn (14) and Hagen (14) Balmer; step-daughter, Rowe Balmer (25); father, William Harris; siblings, Julie Harris, Mike Harris, Michelle Harris, Kathleen (Terry Warzecha) Harris, and Matthew (Elizabeth) Harris. She was preceded in death by her mother, Paula Harris.

A visitation is scheduled for Monday, September 23rd from 10:00 AM until 12:00 PM at St. Charles Catholic Church, 313 Circle Dr., Hartland, WI, followed by a mass at noon.
