Walsh, Patricia A. Thursday October 3, 2024. Beloved daughter of the late Russell and Lorraine Walsh. Dear sister of Pamela Walsh. Our dear cousin, friend and biggest Blues fan.
Graveside service will be held Saturday October 12, 10:00 am at St. Trinity Cemetery. Kutis South County service.
Patricia and I met at Doane Marketing Research. She welcomed me as she did others and was always supportive and caring. She continued to stay in contact with me after I resigned to start my career. She would always reach out to me from time to time and encourage me on how I was such a great daughter for taking care of my mom and would share (as the season drew close) Christmas reminders because she knew I love the Christmas holiday. On several occasions she offered me to accompany her to a Blues game. I’m going to miss her deeply. She was such a sweet soul and loved and cared genuinely for many. May God bless her family and close friends.
Pat-was my recent supervisor at Kynetec research she was fair, honest, kind, stern if needed and the epitome of what a supervisor should be and stand for. This poem is for you Pat!
I built a tiny garden
In a corner of my heart.
I kept it just for lovely things
until all else shall depart.
And ever was there music,
And flowers blossomed fair;
And never was it perfect
Until you entered there.
Rest easy in your power
I met Pat when I started at Kynetec in 2016. She immediately made me feel welcome. Her presence will be greatly missed
Remembering Pat
My heart is heavy as I say goodbye to a dear coworker and friend, Pat. She was more than just a colleague; she was a mentor, a confidante, and a kind soul.
Pat’s generosity with her time and knowledge inspired me daily. Her willingness to help and answer my questions made me feel supported and valued.
We shared a love for books and were excited to start a virtual Bridgerton book club together! Pat, I’ll never forget your enthusiasm when we discussed starting with the first book. Your infectious laughter and joy will live on.
But Pat’s passions didn’t stop at books. She was a die-hard Blues fan, always ready to cheer on her beloved team! I’ll miss her game-day excitement and how she had every game meticulously planned out in her calendar, ready to go. Her dedication was unmatched!
Though our book club will never meet and the Blues won’t have Pat’s energetic cheers this season, I’ll remember her spirit and enthusiasm. I’ll read those books in your honor, Pat, and chant “Let’s Go Blues!” with you in spirit.
Rest in peace, dear Pat. You’ll be deeply missed. Your legacy of kindness, compassion, and team spirit will live on in our hearts.”
She was a great person and great supervisor at Kynetec. She always could help you and she comfort you when you need help. She talked about her family and always was a good friend. I am going to miss her
My heart is so heavy and so shocked to learn of Pat’s passing. I have known her for 20 years ever since i started working at what was then Doane in 2004, she was such a good, kind, caring, sweet, patient soul as a person and a supervisor. i thought of her as a friend and not just a supervisor. she was always there for us at the office and working remotely. Just cannot believe she is gone and so young. she had a very dry sense of humor and sometimes i had to stop and think if she was kidding or serious if i had a question for her or an issue needed to discuss. As i recall her dry sense of humor i have to smile. You always though knew that you could go to her about anything with her understanding ways.
She was such a Cardinals fan and how she loved her St. Louis Blues . I will never forget several years ago one night we were working late at the office and i was there with Pat and Joe Kidwell (another coworker) and we learned her beloved Blues had just won their very first ever Stanley Cup and the 3 of us were so excited and we all went nuts yelling, so happy, but especially Pat was just ubelievably ecstatic regarding they had finally won a Stanley Cup. a fond memory of her. she got season tickets every year for Blues Games and that was her one luxury she allowed herself. i will never forget her happiness that night.
it was so nice some of the conversations we had thru the years. she remembered working with my husband Glenn, Sr. as an interviewer herself back then in the 90s, (he passed away in 1999) and she would talk about him from time to time and tell me sweet silly stories about him that she recalled about him and i think she did this in kindness because she knew how i missed him and i loved those conversations. We had another bond too. she was caretaker for her dear mom and her dear sister Pam for many years and i was a caretaker for my sister and we would compare notes and feelings as being a caretaker for one or in her case 2 people she loved, is never easy and took comfort in each others experiences or just when one of us had one of those hard days being a caretaker we would vent to each other. She was such a good loving daughter to her mom and a good loving sister to Pam. she took such good care of them. it was her mission i think showing her good kind heart. she sacrificed a lot for them with love and never a complaint. they were so lucky to have Pat.
i want to share one last story about Pat to show what a caring person she was to others that i will always hold dear in my heart and that i thought of immediately after hearing she had passed. recently i have been very sick for last several months and when she heard my radiation treatments had started recently one night i got an email from her out of the blue, wanting to know how i was doing and if i was eating and could she have food delivered to me. That was thoughtful caring Pat.
there were so many different facets to Pat like a fine diamond she shined. i forever will still be able to hear that chuckling laugh of hers and smile. How i will miss her for her friendship, caring heart and the person she was to all. I am so glad she passed so peacefully that was a blessing from God. She will be forever in the hearts of those who knew her. RIP Pat, good and faithful daughter and sister and friend. Soar like a bird to heaven, your work on earth is done, and what a great reunion you will have with your beloved mom and dad. Love you Pat and will miss you so as a friend and coworker/supe. Work will never be the same for me. Until we meet again.
