Patsy A. Bellin

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that our Lord and Savior called Pat Bellin to her eternal heavenly home on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. Jesus guided her peacefully from her home she shared with her youngest daughter and full time caretaker, Lori.

Pat was born on December 11, 1938 in Appleton. She was the daughter of the late Louis and Margaret (Horn) Rehfeldt. She attended grade school at St. Paul Lutheran and graduated from Appleton West in 1957. She then married the late James L. Zuleger on May 7, 1960.

Pat worked a few years at Aid Association for Lutherans. She then began her career as a mother and started working at Appleton Medical Center as a switchboard operator, eventually being promoted to supervisor, retiring after 37 years.

Pat was a member of the woman’s bowling team for many years. She got great joy putting her daughters through dance classes. She was on the Mount Olive Lutheran Church altar guild and ladies aid with her mother, Margaret. Once Pat became a grandma, she was so proud of her grandson, Kaleb and attended every one of his sporting events, never missing even one. Pat was then blessed with three beautiful great grandchildren who she loved dearly.

Pat is survived by her daughters:  Luanne Zuleger, Lori Farragh; grandson, Kaleb (Abby) Farragh; great grandchildren: Hudson, Claire, and Baylon Farragh; sisters-in-law: Karen (John) Dushak, Joyce Zuleger; brother-in-law, George (Sue) Hamilton; Godson, Tom Ermers; and many special nieces, nephews, cousins, and really great friends. She was preceded in death by her ex-husband, James Zuleger; son-in-law, Michael Farragh; and brother-in-law, Alex Zuleger.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 am on Monday, March 30, 2026 at Mount Olive Lutheran Church, 930 E Florida Avenue, Appleton with Pastor Robert Raasch officiating. Visitation will take place at the church on Monday from 10:00 am until the time of service. The service will be live streamed at: evt.live/patsy-bellin
