Patricia Jane Lilly Stegman

Patricia Jane Lilly Stegman passed into eternity on August 15, 2025 at the age of 68 at the Topside Manor in Goodland, Kansas.

She was born March 14, 1957 in Japan to James and Hartense (Nobles) Lilly, being the youngest of three children.

Pat lived in many places as a military child. She called Colorado Springs, Colorado her home during her school age years. Her 1st Communion was received on May 15, 1965. Pat graduated from Palmer High School in Colorado Springs in 1975, where she was an excellent student, cheerleader and loved anything with music.

Pat was an extremely hard worker. She worked in many different places including running her own very successful business, ‘In Stitches’ with locations in Stratton, Burlington and Yuma, Colorado. She had a love for the medical field and caring for others. She worked as a nurse’s aide and as an EMT.

Throughout Pat’s life she spent her free time enjoying animals and music and doing crafts.

In 2005, Pat was diagnosed with MS, which she gracefully accepted as a part of her life. She worked up until 2015, when her body gave into the paralyzing disease. In 2018, she found great comfort and gratitude in all of her care-givers when she moved into the nursing home.

Pat is preceded in death by her parents, James and Hartense Lilly.

Pat is survived by her daughter, Kennedy Winslow and two grandchildren, but is truly loved and will be missed by many.
