Obituary of Patricia Joanne Hart

Patricia Joanne (Patty Jo) Hart passed away on June 24, 2024, one month after her 70th birthday.

Patty Jo was the 5th of ten children. She is survived by sisters, Shirley (Don) David, Susan Oakins, Sandra Buresch, and Tracy Rainey and by brothers William (Cynthia) Hart, Robert Hart, and Daryl Hart, 14 nieces and nephews, and 24 grand nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by parents Florence Rainey and Allen Hart, brother Allen Hart and sister Kathleen Hart.

Patty found joy being with others, over a cup of coffee with her caregiver, lunch or a trip with a relative, or bowling with her adult day group. Patty loved it when she could spend her birthday with family and her last trip was her 70th birthday vacation with family members in Hawaii.

Patty had a strong faith in God. She believed that heaven was in the clouds, and she died knowing that that she would be united with God and her family in heaven.
