Funeral services were held on Saturday, January 3, 2026, at the  Atkinson Funeral Home in Harrisonville, MO, Interment in Orient Cemetery, Harrisonville, MO.

Born on July 10, 1930, in Wooldridge, MO, she was the daughter of Lon C. and Audrey Lucille (Croswhite) Vaughn. Patricia's legacy of kindness and hard work will forever be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Patricia married the love of her life, Bob Meyer, on April 2, 1948, in Boonville, MO. Together they built a life centered around family, hard work, and community. A proud graduate of Boonville High School, Patricia embraced a career as a dedicated business owner. She founded Meyer Cartage, went on to lead M & M Trucking Company, and later managed Eagle Trailer Co., all while balancing the responsibilities of raising a family. 

Her dedication didn't stop at her professional life; Patricia devoted many years to volunteering at the Ministerial Alliance Thrift Store in Harrisonville, bringing joy and support to those around her. She was an active participant in her children's lives, serving as a basketball coach for her daughter and participating in a bowling league where she forged lasting friendships.

An avid lover of nature, Patricia found peace in the simple pleasures of life. She could often be found sitting on her porch with a cup of coffee in hand, watching the wildlife with a warm smile. Her home was a welcoming place where many felt accepted, as she embraced everyone as family and became a beloved "Grandma" to all.

Patricia was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Bobby "Bob" Meyer; her son, Steve Meyer; her brothers: Glen Vaughn, Lon Vaughn Jr., and Cliff Vaughn; and her sisters, Shirley Triebsch and Flava Dee Vaughn. She is survived by her children: Michael Meyer (Barbara) of Overland Park, Kansas; Robert Keith Meyer (Sue) of Bonner Springs, KS; Richard Mark Meyer of Harrisonville, MO; and Kristi Osborn (Karl) of Harrisonville, MO; 14 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; and 1 great-great-grandchild; and many extended family and friends. The warmth and love she provided will be deeply missed but eternally cherished.
