Patricia Mayhew

NEWBURY, Ohio - Patricia Margaret Ann Mayhew, age 87, loving mother of Cindy Egrek (husband Thomas), Patrick M.T.M. "Butch" Gorsuch (wife Jill Pearce), and the late baby Patrick Delzoppo; devoted grandmother of Gordon Gorsuch; cherished daughter of the late Thomas G. and Margaret M. (nee Berger) Mayhew; dearest sister of the late Thomas Mayhew; dear aunt of Mark and Kirk Mayhew and great-aunt of many, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, Nov. 8, 2023.

Patricia was born on June 24, 1936, in Cleveland, Ohio, to Thomas Gilbert Mayhew (Shanley), of Steubenville, Ohio, and Margaret M. Berger, of St. Louis, Missouri. She was raised in Cleveland and Euclid, Ohio, and in 1956, moved to Bryan, Ohio.

Patricia was married in 1957. She was active in Saint Patrick's Church activities. On Jan. 13, 1968, she moved to Auburn, Indiana, where she worked as a secretary for Immaculate Conception School, was a member of the PTO and a lector for the church.

She was also involved in the Dekalb Hospital Guild, Auburn Community Theater (Act 1), and a charter member of "Nur Fur Uns".

Pat enjoyed knitting, crocheting, and sewing. She loved genealogy and babies. Pat's most enjoyment was family gatherings of all kinds, especially holidays and Sunday dinners. Many would describe her as one who liked nature, animals (walking dogs mostly), and being active. She was helpful to anyone who needed it. Pat liked staying up late, as she was not a morning person at all.

She will be greatly missed by everyone who knew and loved her.

Family and friends are requested to meet for a Mass of Christian Burial on Friday, Nov. 17, 2023, at 11 a.m., at St. Helen Catholic Church, 12060 Kinsman Road, Newbury, Ohio.

Burial following at All Souls Cemetery.

Family will receive friends to pay tribute to and celebrate the life of Pat at The church on Friday morning from 10-11 a.m.
