Patricia was born in Richland, Michigan on June 17, 1934, to the late John and Mabel (Sweeney) DeHollander.

Patricia was employed at Castle Nursing Home in Millersburg, Ohio for over 30 years prior to retirement. She enjoyed cooking and baking, going to Gospel Hill concerts, loved animals, enjoyed her trips to Arizona and the Grand Canyon, and watching NASCAR and football.

Survived by sons Mike, Melvin (Carolyn), Ron, Don all of Coshocton and Charles of Warsaw; daughter Mary (Bob) Juniper of New Albany; brother Leonard (Charlotte) DeHollander of Michigan; sister Joyce (Len) Jenson of Michigan; and many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.

Patricia wishes to be remembered by her hard work and how she cared for her kids. As a lifelong mother, Patricia put her kids ahead of everything. She was strong, beautiful, and brought a smile to the faces of everyone she encountered. When we think of her, may we recall how gentle, wise, patient, and loving she was. We will forever miss seeing her beautiful blue eyes.
