Patti Jean Koenen (Volkert), age 68 of Seguin, passed away peacefully on March 16, 2023, after battling COPD and lung cancer. She was a fan of St. Patrick's Day and was welcomed to heaven just in time to celebrate! Patti was born December 14, 1954, to E. Patricia Walsh and Charles William Volkert Jr. in Dover, New Jersey. She graduated from Dover High School in 1972 and married Charles Everett Koenen, Sr. on September 30, 1972 in New Jersey. They had four children together and relocated to Texas in 1984. Patti was "Nana" to 11 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.

While her children were growing, Patti focused on creating memories with them, and making sure everyone felt welcome at her home. Her family spent many weekends camping and shared a love of sports. She was a proud Nana and spent as much time as she could with all of her grandkids. She loved to craft and was fascinated by ancestry.

Patti is preceded in death by her parents and infant sister, Sharon Volkert, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. She is survived by her former husband, Charles Everett Koenen, Sr. and their four children, Charles Everett Koenen, Jr. (wife Carol), Kevin Koenen (wife Athena), Stephen Koenen (wife Casey), and Stephanie Adams (husband Albert); her grandchildren Cambry Terry (husband Cory), Lindsay Pennington (husband Bailey), Kaylie Koenen, Haylie Koenen, Lathan Koenen, Katalina Adams, Tyler Koenen, Raelee Adams, Kaylin Koenen, Tripp Adams, and Kaydence Koenen; and great-grandchildren Carter and Callan Terry, and Brooklyn Pennington. Other survivors include her sisters, Carol Henriksen (husband Steve) and Karen Bodine; her brother, Charles William Volkert III (wife Pauline); and many other beloved family and friends.

She will be remembered with love as her friends and family share stories about the good times. We invite you to join us as we celebrate her life with a memorial service planned for 2:00 p.m. on Friday, April 14th, 2023 at Tres Hewell Mortuary with Jeremy Roy officiating. Visitation will be held prior to the service from 1:00p-2:00p.
