Patricia A. Humo

Patricia A. Humo was born July 28, 1946, in DeKalb, IL. She was an executive secretary at DeKalb Ag/Monsanto in DeKalb and was a faithful member of the Bethlehem Lutheran Church in DeKalb. She enjoyed serving on several church committees and held a variety of positions with each.


Pat was a devoted caregiver advocate for many people. Being Finnish, she was bilingual and used this in caring for others. Pat loved to interact with family, enjoyed shopping, and crocheting. She took great joy in being a part of her niece's and nephew's lives.  


Patricia A. Humo passed away on September 29, 2011. In her honor, a Fund was created at the DeKalb County Community Foundation to continue her legacy of love and support. The Pat Humo Nursing Fund provides an annual scholarship award to a student enrolled in the nursing program at Kishwaukee College. Pat's background was not nursing, but she was touched by the care and kindness shown to her mother and many others by CNA's at the nursing home. The nurses took great care of her loved ones and ministered to Pat and her family's needs. Pat's family felt the same support from the hospital staff when Pat was receiving care.
