March 31: Winslow husband mourns death of 63-year-old wife 

Hayden Wilke, 62, confirmed that his 63-year-old wife Patricia died on March 25 and posthumously tested positive for COVID-19.

Patricia Wilke was a pharmacist at Winslow's only Safeway store. The couple was coming up on their 40th wedding anniversary.

"She was a caring person and very loved," Hayden Wilke said. "I know I loved her. I wish I had told her that more."

He said his wife, who had diabetes, became ill, was frequently tired and had diarrhea. He and his children, 19-year-old Jubilee and 29-year-old Lock, had to help her to the restroom.

Eventually, she got tired and said she needed to rest. She went to sleep and never woke up, Wilke said.

Responding EMTs attempted to revive her but were unsuccessful.

Wilke said they'd tried to get his wife tested or hospitalized but were turned away by a hospital in Winslow because she did not have respiratory symptoms.

After Patricia Wilke's posthumous diagnosis, Wilke said the CDC reached out to his family and said they would be sending them tests, which they had not received as of Tuesday.

All of the remaining family members are sick with the same symptoms as Patricia Wilke, her husband said.
