Patricia Nemeth Obituary
Patricia M. (McKernan) Nemeth, age 63, of Pickerington, Ohio formerly of Pittsburgh -- unexpectedly on Monday, April 19, 2021. Beloved wife of Gerard Nemeth for 38 years; Loving mother of Shannon Galvin (Matt) and Steven Nemeth; Grandmother of Nolan and Peyton Galvin; Daughter of Ruth McKernan and the late Sloan McKernan; Sister of Tim McKernan (Laurie) and Sarah Prady (Kevin). Also survived by nieces and nephews. 'Pat' was a fantastic and dedicated mother, grandmother 'Nannie' and wife because she relished those roles so much. Her passion for family outings such as snow skiing, beach going, having loved ones over for dinner or just a night out at a restaurant were priorities throughout her life. Pat was also very proud of her receiving her B.A. in Criminology from the University of Phoenix at the age of 50. She also loved her job working as a paralegal in the criminal defense area making it difficult for the family to talk her into taking a day off at times. She was always a good, honest and sincere person but the one adjective that seems to resonate with everyone is strong. Pat will be loved and missed by all that knew her. Family and friends received Tuesday, April 27 from 2-4 and 6-8pm at the George A. Thoma Funeral Home, Inc., 10418 Perry Hwy, Wexford, PA 15090. Funeral mass Wednesday, April 28 at 10:30am at St. Alphonsus (St. Aidan Parish). In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials to the American Heart Association at www.heart.org.

Gerry, Shannon, Steve, and to Pat's entire family~
My most heartfelt condolences to all of you. I am in heavyhearted disbelief. I worked with Pat at 580 S. High for over five years. She and I would talk in the mornings while getting coffee, and I have heard about all of you (including extended family).
Saying I enjoyed working with Pat for those years is an understatement. She was caring, very considerate, funny, and I loved how she would encourage others to adopt ways that would be helpful or better for them—whether at work or in life. Pat was so vibrant and lively! I smile thinking about all the bags she carried to and from work every day. She never let them weigh her down; she still walked with such gusto and purpose. I also have to mention Pat’s way of thinking...it was often quite progressive and far younger than her years in the most positive way.
For anyone who may recall this gesture and smile, I mention the deliberate way she would push up her glasses for some people, to jokingly make a point. It always made me laugh.
Pat indeed relished all her roles in her family—it was apparent even to outsiders how much she especially thrived on and cherished her roles as a mother, wife, and Nannie.
I hope you all will be comforted by your wonderful memories of Pat.
I will truly miss her.

I had the pleasure of knowing Pat through her work. I work for the company that did the phones for both lawyers Pat worked for. She would call us and start support tickets- she was one of our favorite clients! She was just the sweetest person and so incredibly nice. I talked to her about a week ago, she wanted to update the auto attendant for the law office. She was going to do it but was very busy so I said I could do it. We were on the phone going over what it should say and after hearing her talk- I said Pat you have to record this - you have an amazing voice, I could never sound as great as you. She laughed her great laugh- I can still hear it.
I’m so sorry for you loss- Pat was a wonderful person.
