Joseph Mashburn Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jul. 11 to Jul. 13, 2014.

Joseph Patton "Pat" Mashburn, Sr. September 20, 1943 - July 8, 2014 Joseph Patton "Pat" Mashburn entered into eternal rest surrounded by his family on July 8, 2014 in Gulfport, Mississippi. Pat was born in New Orleans on September 20, 1943 and grew up in Hammond, LA. He was preceded in death by parents John S. "Jack" Mashburn and Sadie Pugh Mashburn of Hammond. He is survived by his loving and beautiful wife Elleen Plunkett Mashburn; his children, Joseph Patton "Pat" Mashburn Jr. of Hammond, Kevin Bradley Mashburn and daughter-in-law, Carolyn Croxton Mashburn of Mandeville. He is also survived by eight siblings, Helen, John, Michael, Rita, Donald, Timothy, William and Richard. Pat will always be "Poppa" to his grandchildren, Bradley David Mashburn and Jack Stirling Mashburn both of Mandeville, LA. He was a generous, kind, and loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend to many. His personal and business successes were deeply rooted in his humanitarian side and his life will forever be defined by a deep love for family and friends. He had an incredible gift for bringing a smile to even the most difficult moment life presented. We were very blessed to have him for the time that we did and he will be greatly missed. The hallmarks of Pat's professional career was building a retail furniture franchise for 18 years and culminating with a 10 year career in commercial real estate. Pat graduated from St. Stanislaus in Bay St. Louis, MS in 1961, University of Notre Dame, South Bend, IN in 1965 with a Bachelor of Science in Economics. Relatives and friends are invited to share in a celebration of Pat's life at Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church, 228 S Beach Blvd, Bay St Louis, MS on Thursday, July 17, 2014. Visitation will be from 11AM to the start of the Memorial Mass at 1PM. In lieu of flowers the family request donations be made in Memory of Pat Mashburn, Sr. to St. Stanislaus, 304 S Beach Blvd., Bay St. Louis, MS 39520. Edmond Fahey Funeral Home in Bay St. Louis, MS is in charge of the arrangements.

I remember Pat from Notre Dame through all 4 years but especially, our 5th year when we were both married students and struggling to graduate. I hated to see his name in the Obit's of The ND Magazine. Was hoping to see him and you Eileen at our 50th next year. Please accept my condolences,

Believe it or not I actually remember when I first met Mashburn. It was September 1961 when he came walking down the hallway of our freshman dorm carrying a pack of Marlboros in one hand and a handkerchief in the other. He was throwing around a lot of "Y'all's" as he came toward me which sounded funny to the ear of a farm boy from Minnesota who was more comfortable with a "You Betcha" or two than with this new lingo. To make things worse, I was a Winston guy and wasn't at all impressed by the Marlboros especially since they were in a sissy cardboard box. That day was the first of many chances to experience his little "handkerchief ceremony", something he performed every time he blew his nose because the plumbing for it never did work right. I will never forget the "pinky fingers up" approach he had. Anyway, little did the "Winston guy" know that the friendship begun that day with the "Marlboro guy" would grow to be one of the most cherished in his life. It lasted more than 5 decades and as they grew from boys to men it simply got deeper and more valued. Godspeed,Mash..Godspeed on your journey home.

We will miss the "Chairman" as he was known in Baton Rouge. He was a great guy, a fighter, and always had a smile on his face! We extend our sympathies to his family and thank you for sharing him with us.

I had the unique pleasure of growing up around Pat, who was a neighbor just up the street and fellow student at Holy Ghost School in Hammond. I remember so many wonderful things about his parents and siblings. His daddy sponsored a Little League baseball team on which I played with Pat for a time. I remember their home as being full of joy and laughter, as we all sat around for lunch spinning the largest laszy Susan I've ever seen in my life. Pat was a gentle but strong personality, and a great friend to have. He's part of who I am, even to this day. I have some photos I'll dig out and send down to those surviving him. Until then, please know I share in your celebration of his life. Albert Yokum, Baldwin, Long Island, New York.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Pat and my brother ,Prieur, were in the same class at SSC. They played football together and I am sure they shared great times. My husband and I had lunch with Pat about a year ago. What a nice ,kind man. I know that he will be missed by so many.

"...I am traveling there to awaken him..." these were words of Jesus after his friend Lazurus had fallen asleep in death. May the next voice your dear loved one hear be that of Jesus awakening him from sleep too.
