Patricia Bartholome Obituary
March 18, 1946 - January 24, 2026
Kansas City, Missouri - Patricia Margaret Bartholome flew away with the angels and into our hearts on January 24, 2026, at St. Luke's Hospice House. She is with our parents, William F. and Virginia G. Bartholome, sisters Virginia Rohan and Anne Bartholome, brother William G. Bartholome, aunt Sr. Virginia Bartholome, niece Monica Liston Rutherford, and sister-in-law Marita Bartholome, and brothers-in-law William Rohan Sr., Thomas M. Liston and Frank Hasibar.
Her family still on this earth include her older sisters Joan Liston and Grace Hasibar, younger sisters Catherine Bartholome and Helen Doval, and younger brothers Louis, Peter, Paul and David Bartholome; nieces and nephews Ginna Hall, Bill Rohan Jr and Chris Rohan; Peter, Michael and Andrew Liston; Joan, Leah and Joseph Hasibar; Bridget, Sheila and Claire Bartholome; Anna Johnson and William Bartholome; Jeremy Morris; Abram Doval, Justin Doval, Nora Siwarski, Grace Malecha and Pete Doval; Frank Hinnenkamp; Rachel, Tina, Jackie, Katie and Justin Bartholome; Jessie Whittley and Yoli Bartholome; and great and great-great nieces and nephews.
Patricia was born on March 18, 1946, in Helena, Montana, the fifth of twelve siblings. The family moved to Kansas City when she was two and she made it her life-long home.
Patricia lived a life of service to others in her career as head of the work release program at the Jackson County jail, at Catholic Charities, at Children's Mercy Hospital and at the KC Housing Authority. Service was the core of her daily existence. Patty knew how to 'literally pull greatness out of others', to quote a close friend, with kindness, steadiness and a deep belief in one's core worth.
She was a Renaissance woman, an artist, musician, patron and lover of the arts, and an avid reader. She was a joyful woman and invited others to join her in celebrating life.
Visitation will he held on Saturday, February 28th at 6pm at Muehlebach Funeral Home on 6800 Troost Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri with a Memorial Service at 7pm.
Memorial offerings may be made in Patricia's name to Operation Breakthrough of Kansas City or the Midwest Innocence Project in lieu of flowers.

I am so sad to hear of Pat's passing. I have been working with her over the last couple of years archiving all of the family photo albums. Her family was everything to her and I watched each sibling grow up through the very detailed scrapbooking of their mother.
I would love to get in touch with the family when the time is right so I can pass on the work we did.
My deepest condolences to all. Pat was a wonderful person and cared so much for everyone in her life.

Pat was one of the most remarkable persons I was lucky enough to call my friend. She was tolerant to a fault. I have known her since 1980 when I worked for her at the Jackson County Jail. She taught me the finer points of working successfully with criminals who were also just people. She taught me that respect is to be earned and what you put out in the world, will come back to you a hundred fold. I will continue to love and cherish her and her family.
She was known for her good works. If good works can get you into Heaven than she is a there right now. I hope I get to meet her there.

It was an honor to know Pat. She was one of the most tolerant people I´ve ever known. She accepted people as they were and was generous to a fault. If good works gets one into Heaven, then surely Pat is there now. She was one of my best friends and I already miss her greatly. It gives me great comfort to know that I will see her again someday.

Patty was such a big part of our family household growing up that she was considered part of the Osburn family. She'll be on my mind and in my heart today.
