     Patricia was born in Springfield and raised in Hartville. Being the oldest of 6 children, she helped raise her younger siblings. She graduated from Hartville High School in the Class of 1978. After getting married, she milked cows, drove a bus for the Mansfield School district for 30 years as well as working for 32 years as a home care provider for the elderly and disabled.

     Patricia made a profession of faith in Christ and was a member of the Hartville First Baptist Church.

     In her spare time, she enjoyed her flowers, gardening, and cooking. But most of all, she loved going to her kids and grandkids school activities and sporting events.

     Patricia was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, caregiver, and bus driver, getting her students safely to and from school and to sport events.

     We celebrate her life and know that she is no longer in pain and is with the “Eternal Caregiver”.
