Patricia Ann Junker

Patricia (Patty) Ann Foltz Junker of West Terre Haute, IN passed away on April 11, 2026 in Terre Haute, IN. Patty was Born on April 27, 1934 in Terre Haute, IN to Glenn Martin and Mary Cecilia Foltz.

Patty was married to her husband Howard H. Junker Jr., and just celebrated their 65th anniversary April 8th. She was a loving and dedicated wife and mother to five children which were her greatest joys.

Patty’s and Howard’s children and their spouses include: Cecilia Junker Yoakum (Fishers, IN), Howard III and Cindy Junker (Brazil, IN), Dorothy (Dot) and Brian Mimms (Terre Haute, IN), Stephen and Cristy Junker (Terre Haute, IN) and Donald Junker (Zionsville, IN).

Patty "Nana" was very proud to have 13 grandchildren which she loved dearly and babysat regularly. She also has 13 great grandchildren.

Patty attended Indiana University and was a graduate of Indiana State University.

She was most certainly a devout Catholic. For most of her life she belonged to Catholic Charities, and was elected as President by nomination rather than desire to be the leader. She dedicated much of her time to volunteering at the Catholic Charities Food Pantry and the Christmas Store. She and her granddaughter Katy belonged to the Sigma Kappa Sorority.

Patty never met a stranger and was always eager to visit with anyone. She truly loved everyone and somehow every friend she mentioned was her best friend. Some of her favorite expressions were - “Thank You, Thank You, Thank You”, “Lucky, Lucky, Lucky” and “Whoopie-Doo”. She was always thankful to everyone and always felt so lucky.

Mass of Christian Burial will be at 12:00 P.M. on Friday April 17, at St. Joseph University Parish. Visitation will be one hour prior at the church. Burial will be in Calvary Cemetery.

Instead of flowers, donations can be made to Catholic Charities.
