  Patricia Wood Baer, 88, died peacefully at her home on Sunday, Dec. 26, 2010, after a short illness. Patricia was born in Green Bay, to parents Lester G. and Esther Laura Wood. She was a graduate of East High School and received a Bachelor of Arts degree and teaching certificate from Denison College in 1944. Patricia taught school in Dayton, Ohio, for several years where she met Frederick E. Baer, her husband of 59 years. Upon completion of Fred's post-war college education, the couple moved to Green Bay in late 1948. In addition to raising a family of three sons, Patricia was a committed and active community volunteer and philanthropist. Although she served and supported many organizations, she was especially dedicated to First United Methodist Church, the YWCA and Heritage Hill where she took a lead role in the restoration of the Cotton House. Patricia was a founding board member of the Bellin College of Nursing and was a director emeritus. Patricia was also proud to be a long time member of Chapter N of the P.E.O. Sisterhood. Patricia also served as a member of the board of directors of Paper Converting Machine Company for many years. Patricia received many recognitions and awards for her service and stewardship of the community's needs including: the William Booth Award from The Salvation Army, the William Heraly MacDonald Award from the United Way, the President's Medal from St. Norbert College, the Chancellor's Award from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and the Outstanding Philanthropist Award from the National Society of Fund Raising Executives.
