Patricia Jean Hasslen

January 4, 1942 - March 15, 2022

On March 15th, 2022 the world lost a force of nature--small & feisty was Pat. She was a class act full of adventure, laughter & love for her family & friends. Patrica Jean (Weinholzer) Hasslen was born in St. Paul, MN on January 4th, 1942 to Joseph & Veryl Weinholzer. She graduated from St. Agnes High School in 1960. Her love of travel & adventure started soon after when she moved to California. Her California adventures didn’t last long as she moved back to Minnesota where she married John & they raised their five children. Pat’s love of travel could not be calmed; early on it was summers in Wisconsin, boat trips in Tennessee & winters in Florida. The adventures grew to Pat & John traveling the world with friends but always keeping a home base in Minnesota to be close to her family, friends & to be part of the family business, EPG Companies, Inc. Pat is survived by her husband of 50 years, John S. Hasslen III, her children, Joseph (fiancé Darci) Hasslen, Timothy (Kristi) Hasslen, Mandy (David) Hasslen-Gartner & Melissa (Tamer) Selim, 15 grandchildren & 19 great-grandchildren, her brother, Charles (Carol) Weinholzer, nieces & nephews, many dear friends & her ‘fur babies’ Cooper & Watson. She is preceded in death by her parents, Joe & Veryl Weinholzer, her daughter Cindy Smilden, great-granddaughter Emerson Moengen & great-grandson Noah Smilden. Pat’s family will be holding a celebration of her life in the coming months. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, TN. Goodbye, sweet Pat, may you rest with sunshine on your face, the convertible top down & knowing you are deeply loved.
