Patricia O'Hara Obituary

Published by Wujek-Calcaterra & Sons, Inc. - Sterling Heights on Mar. 28, 2016.

O'Hara, Patricia Ann (nee Stone) passed away on Monday, March 28, 2016, at the age of 56. Patty lived with the effects of a stroke from Moya Moya for 15 years, but succumbed to a recent diagnosis of cancer. Patricia is survived by her loving and supportive husband, Shawn, whom she married in 1985 and, during her illness, always encouraged her to "stay in the game", and their lovely and exceptionally devoted daughters, Caitlin and Neala. Patty is also survived by her siblings and best friends, Janice Tedder (John), Antoinette Brady (Richard), Monica Zielinski (Robert), and Joseph Stone. Patty was preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Mildred Stone, her beloved brother Edward Stone, Jr., her loving sister Jane Latour (Jean), and her beloved father-in-law Edward O'Hara. Patty is also survived by her mother-in-law, Barbara O'Hara, whom she loved and appreciated so very much. Barbara is another courageous woman who never wavered in her love and respect for Patty, and without hesitation, embraced her unsolicited duties in helping Patty, Shawn, Caitlin and Neala. Patty will be missed by the entire O'Hara and Holland families. Their devotion to her was constant and loving and they never allowed her to feel she was any different because of her illness. Patty cherished being in their families. Patty will be missed by her Godsons, Robert Zielinski and Andre Latour, along with her many other nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews who will always remember her love, kindness, generosity, and especially her courage and faith in God that allowed her to always believe that she was "blessed" every day of her 15 year battle. Patty's family will receive relatives and friends at Wujek-Calcaterra & Sons, Inc., 36900 Schoenherr at Metro Parkway (16 Mile) from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Thursday, instate Friday 9:30am until 10:00 a.m. followed by a Mass at St. Thecla Church, 20740 S.

Shawn, Neala and Caitlyn,
I was so sad to hear of the passing of Patty. She was such a positive force in my life as well as in the lives of all who knew her. Her easy laugh will always ring in my ears.

Bye Patty, my lovely, dear cousin. I miss you and I wish we (Amy, Dave, and I) could have seen you before you left us for a better place. Losing you breaks my heart, but at the same time I'm happy to know that you are with Jesus and His angels. Patty, you will always live in my heart. Please kiss Uncle Ed, Aunt Mill, Eddy, and Jane for me. You touched my life and so many others' lives with your love and how you spread your love to everyone you connected with. Amy was in tears when she heard that you had died. She still remembers you from the Sarnia reunion.

Shawn, Neala, and Caitlin, I'm sorry at your enormous loss of your wife and mother. I will keep you in my prayers. Also my heart goes out to Janice (John), Toni (Rick), Monica (Rob), Joe, Jean Latour, and nieces and nephews and grandchildren. You are all wonderful and have been so supportive to Patty and Jane. What a legacy Aunt Mill and Uncle Ed have left in their sons and daughters, their grandchildren, and, we can't forget, their daughters' husbands.

We (the Drummonds) were fortunate to be related and to live within four miles of the wonderful Stone family. They were always so welcoming and genuine. Cousin Patty and I were the same age and therefore, we always had a closeness from the beginning. Although our lives naturally drifted apart as we became adults, I was fortunate enough to reconnect after her illness and see her strong character once again. In particular, the optimistic outlook she continued to display and positively infect any who came within an earshot of her strong voice (and laugh!). Her daughters have clearly taken on this trait which will be with them throughout their lives. Heartfelt hugs go out to my Stone cuzzies & the O'Hara family.

Words can not express how sorry I am for your loss. Mrs.O'hara was always such a kind and fun mom to be around! I remember hanging out with Caitlin up north and taking pontoon rides with Mrs. O. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.

I remember many, many great times working beside her. She worked so hard everyday in the office but anyone who knew her will tell you that her girls always came first. No matter what was going on at the office, her girls were her heart and priority. She was also a very loyal, loving and dutiful wife both in and out of the office . I have nothing but respect for the battle she endured and my deeper sympathy and love is with ther whole family . I'm so very sorry and will keep you in my prayers.
