Patricia (Pat) Glaser Helgoe, 84, passed away peacefully on August 26, 2026, at Prairie View Nursing Home in Tracy, Minnesota, following a brief illness.
Born on December 5, 1941, Pat grew up in Tracy and graduated from Tracy High School with the Class of 1959. She went on to build a fulfilling career in Minneapolis, where she served as a respected administrator and manager for a large medical group.
Pat was a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, grandmother and great grandmother. She was preceded in death by her husband, John Helgoe, and is survived by her two sons, Michael and his wife, Dede, John Jr. Helgoe and his wife Deborah, cherished grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren, along with her siblings, brother John Glaser and sister Kathleen Glaser O’Brien and her two daughters.
Remembered for her deep devotion to family, her love of animals, and an infectious laughter that warmed every room, Pat left an indelible mark on all who knew her. She will be dearly missed and fondly remembered.
In keeping with Pat’s wishes, no formal memorial service will take place. Instead, a tree will be planted to honor her life and legacy in the Chippewa National Forest, located in Cass Lake, Minnesota.
