Patricia Mary (Pat) Jasper, 87, of Davenport, passed away peacefully on her birthday, April 19, 2026, at the Davenport Lutheran Home with her beloved family at her side.

Born in 1939, in Dubuque, Iowa, she was the daughter of Gerald and Helen (Mueller) Kinsella. Pat graduated from Marycrest College with a Bachelor of Arts in Art. Pat was a well-known local craft artist, filling many Davenport and Midwest homes with art by "PJ's". She beautifully balanced her life as an artist and a dedicated mother, filling her family's world with color, warmth, and love.

Pat was a fitness enthusiast. She cycled the hills of Iowa over many years of RAGBRAI and TOMRV, loved hiking and biking in Colorado, and was a familiar, joyful fixture at the local YMCA.

She was united in marriage to Donald Jasper. The couple shared 65 beautiful years of marriage until Don's passing in 2025.

Her legacy lives on through her children, Doug (Doreen) Jasper, Michael (Jodette) Jasper, Scott (Kate) Jasper, and Ann (Todd) Golab; her beloved grandchildren, Paul, Patrick (Candela), Kalyn, and Christopher (Jessica); and her great-grandson, Jacob.
