In the evening on July 18th 2025, the house of Patricia Wanback was devastatingly damaged by a fire. She and her daughter bravely escaped the home which was already engulfed in flames, saving the 2 dogs who were in the home. Fire crews worked tirelessly to put out the flames but the damage the upstairs and overall structure to the house is immense.

Pat is 77, a mother to four, grandmother to eight and great grandmother to four. Her and her late husband Paul raised their children in this home. They hosted frequent family gatherings and parties over the years. This home holds so many memories for her family, which she cherishes more than anything.

Pat is truly a magnificent woman whose love for those around her illuminates everyone. No one deserves a tragedy like this, especially not a woman who puts all those she loves above herself. She enjoys playing with all of her great grandkids, who love their Grammy so much. She loves animals, crocheting, and she is an amazing cook.

The money collected from this gofundme will help to repair her home, help to cover expenses of temporary housing, and attempting to recuperate some of the items lost in this fire.

Things are replaceable, people are not. The Wanback family, Pat's friends and all those who love her are so grateful that everyone inside made it out safely. Please keep this wonderful family in your prayers, and Pat, as navigates through think unthinkable nightmare. Thank you for any donation!
