Patricia was born July 13, 1922, to Raymond and Blanche McEnany Mangold of Ryan, Iowa. She graduated from St. John’s High School in Ryan in 1940. After high school, she attended Clarke College in Dubuque, graduating in 1944 with a bachelor degree in Food and Nutrition. Patricia obtained her American Dietetic Association registration after completing her internship at the University of Minnesota in 1945. At that time she also obtained her Teachers Certificate, and continued her career as an Administrative Dietician at St. Luke’s Hospital in Cedar Rapids until her marriage to Raymond J. Duggan on May 18, 1946.
Patricia and Raymond farmed east of Ryan on Raymond’s family farm from the time of their marriage until 1955, when they moved to the Manchester/Earlville areas, returning to the family farm in 1963, where they farmed until Raymond’s retirement.
After her marriage Patricia did substitute teaching and helped her husband on the farm while raising their five children. When the children were grown she resumed employment as a dietary consultant at the Delaware County Memorial Hospital, Dyersville Hospital and Care Center, John McDonald Hospital and Senior Home in Monticello and the Good Neighbor Home in Manchester until her retirement.
Survivors include her children William (Cindy) Duggan of The Villages, Fl, James Duggan and Patrick Duggan of Ryan, Glen (Cathy) Duggan of Manchester and Mary (Dennis) Miller of Cedar Rapids, 10 grandchildren, 3 step grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren, 9 step great grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren. Also surviving are one sister, Maxine (Wayne) Stein and one brother, Francis (Betty) Mangold both of Cedar Rapids.

In her later years Patricia was interested in her family history and genealogy. She will be remembered for her notes of congratulations, sympathy and encouragement to family and friends.
In lieu of flowers the family requests that memorials be made to Clark University, in Dubuque, Iowa, or to a charity of your choice.
