TIPP CITY - Snell, Patricia A. "Pat" age 78 of Tipp City, Ohio passed away at Hospice of Miami County in Troy, Ohio on Saturday, November 29, 2025. Pat was born on January 18, 1947, in Troy, Ohio to the late Marty and Josephine {Gresdorn} Roth. She is preceded in death by her parents and loving husband of 53 and half years, Gary E. Snell. Pat is survived by her dear children, William "Bill" (Doreen) Snell of Troy, Ohio, Mark Snell of Piqua, Ohio and Laura (Francis) Mesler of Austin, Pennsylvania and sister Charlotte Bargo of Centerville, Ohio. Also surviving are grandchildren; Shelby (Brent) Myers, Dustin (Becca) Snell, Josh Mesler and Nicole (Travis) Harrier and several great grandchildren.
Pat's life was marked by enduring love, devotion to family, and a deep connection to her community. She met the love of her life in the second grade, and the two graduated together from Tippecanoe High School in 1965 before building a lifetime of memories side by side.
A passionate reader, Pat was often found at the Tipp City Public Library, where she nurtured her love of books. In the 1970s, she shared her musical gifts as an organist at St. John's Catholic Church, a role that brought her great joy.
Above all, Pat was a devoted homemaker, whose warmth, care, and remarkable cooking made her home a cherished gathering place for her husband and children. She will be remembered for her kindness, her talents, and the love she poured into those around her.
