Patricia Hendrickson

Patricia “Pat” Lynn Imgrund was born on November 23, 1958, in Staples, Minnesota. Her parents were the late James Edward and Marguerite Annette (Irgens) Imgrund. Pat graduated from Staples High School with the class of 1977. After high school, Pat graduated from Staples Vocational Technical College.

In 1988, Pat made her home in Wadena and was united in marriage with Stephen Dale Hendrickson on May 5, 1994. In 1999, Pat and Steve moved to Richville to be near her beloved lakes!

At the age of 50, Pat attended M-State in Wadena and received a degree in medical coding. In 2013, Pat and Steve moved to their home in West Fargo, ND.

Pat always had a way of making people feel special as if they were part of her family! She was known for her special love of her grandkids. Pat made time for the people she loved and knew, and her family was her priority! Whether it was traveling to grandkids hockey games or babysitting so her kids could enjoy a night out, Pat was there with a smile! She was the first person to drop everything for any of her family or friends in need. Through any of the toughest times, Pat was always there! She was the adopted mom who would allow any one of her kid’s friends to stay over and offer words of wisdom and unconditional support. It was common to find her with a cat or dog on her lap, reading a book or working on a puzzle.

On January 18, 2021, Pat passed away at the Sanford Medical Center in Fargo, North Dakota, at 62. She will be dearly missed by her family and friends. Preceding Pat in death were her parents, James and Marguerite Imgrund, and daughter-in-law, Darcy Fink.
