PATRICIA BOZELL 10/31/1951 - 07/13/2025 Patricia Ann Bozell, a dedicated and humble servant of the Lord, departed this earthly life on July 13, 2025, at the age of 73. Patricia was born on 31st October 1951, in Elwood, Indiana, where she lived her entire life. A resilient woman, Patricia exemplified a deep-rooted faith that illuminated every aspect of her life. She was a devoted member of the Bethel Baptist Church, where she served as a youth leader, Sunday School teacher, deaconess, trustee, and choir director for several years. Patricia's unwavering dedication was not only evident in her religious commitments, but also in her professional life. She worked diligently for the Social Security Administration in Anderson for over 30 years, retiring in 2004. Patricia, a graduate of Wendell L. Willkie High School Class of 1969, further pursued her education at Christ for the Nations College. Following school, she worked at Fort Benjamin Harrison Finance Center before going to the Social Security Administration. Her commitment to service extended beyond her church and professional life. She was an adored aunt of 12 nieces and nephews, 23 great-nieces and nephews, and six great-great-nieces and nephews. Her family remembers her as a source of strength, wisdom, and unwavering love. She was preceded in death by her dear parents, Rene and Margaret Bozell, and her sister, Linda Bozell. She leaves behind her sisters, Rebecca Auer and Margy Bozell, who will forever cherish her memory. Patricia's life will be celebrated at a viewing held on Saturday, July 19, 2025, from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm at Dunnichay Funeral Home (1113 South Anderson Street, Elwood, Indiana, 46036).

Patricia's family extends a special thank you to the Oncology nurses, Erica, Julie, Stacy, and Donna, as well as Dr. Bates, Dr. Sharief, Dr. Duncan, and Dr. Whitten, for their care and friendship during Patricia's battle with ovarian cancer. Patricia's life was a testament to faith, love, and resilience. Her legacy will continue to inspire all who knew her.

Patty & I became friends in 3rd grade at Oakland school. We had some adventures exploring the woods & fields between our homes. We walked to school together through Jr. High & part of High School, often stopping to visit relatives & friends along the way.
In later years Patty took up clowning, where her love of kids & sense of humor shown through. She brought a lot of happiness to Elwood.
My condolences to Becky, & Margy & all the special people in Patty's life.

Pat was a good friend from high school. She was one of the first visitors after our son was born, brought us a ceramic baby bootie filled with a beautiful plant. I have treasured it always. Plan on passing it down to our son. It holds a place of honor in our home. Pat was always such a sweet, kind, pleasant person. I've often thought about her through the years. So sorry to hear of her passing. My deepest condolences to Pat's family and friends.
