Patricia L. Wiman

Patricia Wiman (nee Hughes), age 87, departed this world on April 12, 2023. She was the beloved wife of the late Guy Wiman; loving mother of William Allen of Griffith, Indiana, Susan (Ivan) Chermel of Dune Acres, Indiana, Linda Saturday of Indianapolis, Indiana, Joanne (Steve) Tomczak of Cudahy, Wisconsin; and loving sister to Ronald Hughes of Portage, Indiana. She was born on December 26, 1935, in East Chicago, IN, one of eight siblings, six of whom are deceased. She leaves behind beloved grandchildren: Natalie, Matthew, Amanda, Quinn, and Nathan; great grandchildren Mason and Parker; stepchildren: the late Edward (Bev) Wiman, Dennis Wiman and numerous step grandchildren, including Lisa, Kerry, and Dan; step great grandchildren; nieces and nephews.

A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, April 21, 2023, at 12:00 PM at Ridge United Methodist Church, located at 8607 Columbia Ave. Munster, Indiana with Pastor Jared Kendall officiating. Friends may visit with the family on Friday, April 21, 2023, from 11:30 AM – 12:00 PM preceding the service at Ridge United Methodist Church.

Although she became a single mom after four of her children were born, she was still able to put herself through college at Indiana University Northwest in Gary earning an Accounting Degree while holding a full-time job with the US Postal Service. Eventually, she started her own successful accounting business in Hammond, Indiana and after many years, moved the business to Griffith, Indiana, where she had her office for many decades.

Late in life she met the love of her life, Guy Wiman. For the next 27 wonderful married years, in addition to running her accounting business, they managed to visit most of the United States with their travel trailer. Pat and Guy also found time, especially after retirement, to visit destinations outside the US, including Europe, Canada, Mexico, and China. After her husband Guy passed away in 2011, she was still able to do some group travelling. Although the last few years were troubled by a series of medical issues, she was still able to enjoy the simple things in life, including family, friends, her Christian faith, and of course, her favorite TV programs Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune.
