She graduated from J.E. Murphy High School, Hurley in 1966; the University of Wisconsin-Superior, in 1970. She taught English at Wausau East High School and Hurley High School. In 1973, she returned to school at the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh for a Masters Degree (MSEd) in Guidance and Counseling. After receiving her counseling degree, she was employed by North Central Technical Institute in Wausau as a Career Education Consultant on a Federal project and the Pulaski Community School District as a Junior High Counselor.
She married Tom Henrich on August 3, 1974, at St. Mary's Church in Hurley. After the births of her two children, Timothy and Alessia, she again returned to school and began another career as a tax consultant with H & R Block. Thirteen years later she began working for Tax Management Services, received her Enrolled Agent status, and retired in 2014.
Patricia was previously a member of Northbrook Country Club, Luxemburg, and Country Club of Green Valley, Green Valley, AZ. She was previously a member of the Wisconsin Education Association, the National Education Association, the Wisconsin Society of Enrolled Agents, and the National Association of Enrolled Agents.

She is also survived by her siblings, Frank Loreti, Gregory (Mary Grace) Loreti and James (Tami) Loreti and several nieces and nephews.
Pat very much enjoyed spending time with her extended family, playing golf, Sudoku, Mahjongg, and computer games, both alone and with friends. She especially loved traveling. She's been to Europe several times (both land and sea tours), Mexico, Egypt, Central America, South America, including Falkland Islands, Australia and New Zealand, and Panama Canal. Pat also visited all 50 of the states, including six "Hurleys" in various states, as well as several provinces of Canada. Her favorite cruise was to Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand.
