Patrick Touhey Obituary
DALLAS — Patrick Touhey, 70, of Dallas, passed away Monday, Nov. 11, 2024, surrounded by his loving family, at Hospice of the Sacred Heart, Dunmore.
Born Sept. 8, 1954, in the Brooklyn section of New York, N.Y., he was the first son of Patrick, from County Offaly, and Patricia, of New York. In 1983, he married Maureen Dunne, who preceded his death in 2019.
He was educated at Xaverian High School in Brooklyn, and subsequently received his Bachelor of Arts from Fordham University and his Ph.D. from the City University of New York (CUNY).
Upon moving to Pennsylvania, he was employed by Misericordia University, where he worked for over 25 years, serving as professor of mathematics.
Pat is survived by his two loving adult children: his daughter, Kate, her husband, Kris, and grand-puppy, Charlie; and his son, Patrick; his brother, Terence and wife, Debbie, along with nephews, Justin and Brandon; his brother, Timothy, and the mother of his children, Ann, along with nieces, Megan, Sarah and Erin; and nephew, Anthony; his in-laws: Peggy and family, of Quincy; and Helen and family, of Baltimore.
Friends may call from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday at Harold C. Snowdon Funeral Home Inc., 140 N. Main St., Shavertown. Funeral services and interment will be held privately.
We would like to thank his Misericordia colleagues, who became family over the years, and the staff at Hospice of the Sacred Heart.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Patrick and Maureen's names can be made to Hospice of the Sacred Heart.
But most importantly, please give your loved ones a hug.

Nurse Touhey, almost a doctor, was what I called him while he was getting his doctorate. He always loved it when I called him that....lol
Many many great hours spent in classes with him. A true inspiration to me. I will never forget him.
Rest in peace you great man!

Dr. Touhey wasn´t just a great professor. He was a wonderful person and advisor. He knew you as a person and pushed you to become the best you could be. He helped to make me into the math teacher I am today. To say he was one of the best is an understatement. He´ll be missed but never forgotten. I can´t thank him enough for the impact he made on me. I´m so sorry for your loss.

So sad to hear of his passing. Dr. Touhey was a great math professor - cracking jokes from day one! His ability to make topics easy to understand made me think that I could do that too. So, I became a math teacher. My deepest sympathies to his family.

So saddened to hear of Pat´s passing. I have many fond memories of him with Maureen when they were coming to the Cancer Center. We had many laughs, despite the circumstances ( many of them inappropriate). He will be missed. My heartfelt sympathies to the family.
