Patricia Mary Albrecht was born October 27, 1934, at her parents’ home on James Avenue in Mankato, Minnesota. She was the daughter of Bernard and Lillian (Schaible Mahoney) Leftault. Patricia was baptized at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Mankato on December 9, 1934, and confirmed in her faith there on October 24, 1954. She received her education in Mankato, and graduated from the Mankato High School on May 28, 1953. For the next 11 years, Pat was employed with AEMCO in Mankato.
Pat met Leo Albrecht at the Mankato Ballroom. They shared an enjoyment of polka music, fell in love, and were united in marriage on July 11, 1964, at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Mankato. They made their home in Brownton, and were blessed with two children, Theresa and Michael. The family lived in Brownton for 16 years until making their home in Penn Township. Along with helping Leo on the farm, Pat worked at Telex Communication in Glencoe for 15 years. Pat and Leo had shared nearly 49 years of marriage when Leo passed away on June 18, 2013.
