Patricia Ann Pasternack Mowbray, age 82, passed away on March 28, 2026, after a difficult and prolonged 2-year health struggle, surrounded by her family. Pat was raised in Lester, Tinicum Township, PA, and was a proud 1961 graduate of Ridley Park High School. She had resided in Glen Mills, PA since 1967 with her husband of 43 1/2 years, Bob.

Pat was a longtime parishioner of St. Thomas the Apostle Roman Catholic Church in Chester Heights. She enjoyed volunteering in St. Thomas the Apostle School's library and office, during the time that her children attended elementary school there. Pat made friends quickly, especially through her weekly bowling league and through her jobs at State Farm and QVC. And, later, through her volunteerism at Longwood Gardens in Longwood, PA.

Pat was many things to many people throughout her life: but mostly Pat was someone that everyone said was kind, friendly and definitely stubborn.

Pat's stubbornness was put on full display the night that she passed away. She waited until exactly 4:24 (a.m.) to pass. April 24, 1965, was her wedding day. At 4:24 (a.m.) Pat was reunited with her husband Bob, who passed away in 2008. She had not known a moment of Peace since his passing, it seemed fitting that she keep him waiting until that time. He was always waiting for "Patsy Ann" to hurry up!

Pat and Bob raised 2 children and were the beloved grandparents of 3 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. In addition to her family, volunteering, word search and bowling, a great joy in her life came from crocheting. She loved to crochet a newborn's blanket, especially while watching her shows, everyone got a blanket! Her legacy is her close-knit, loving family, who will always remember her and tell of her strange feats, like getting a tattoo at 66 years old "just because" and then getting 2 more!

Pat was the daughter of the late Raymond J. Pasternack and Anna Lysek Pasternack; the wife of the late Robert G Mowbray; and the sister of Raymond (Ann) and James (Vickie) Pasternack.

Pat is survived by: Daughters: Patricia MacNeal (Andrew) of Glen Mills, PA and Barbara Mowbray of Glen Mills, PA; Grandchildren: Stephanie Seehousz (Josh) of Carney's Point, NJ, Marcus MacNeal of Glen Mills, PA and Ryan MacNeal of Macon, GA; Great-Children: Caroline Rose and Georgina Bea Seehousz.

Internment will be private at a later date.
