It is with great sadness that we say "until we meet again" to our Mother, Grandmother, Great-grandmother, Aunt and friend, but our sadness is tempered by the knowledge that she is reunited with her loved ones. She will be sadly missed by her Daughter and Son-in-law, Linda Gehr and Ed Gehr, Westfield IN, her Son and Daughter-in law, George Samarin and Debi (Yonata) Samarin, Knoxville, TN, Grandchildren Andy Gehr (Cynthia), Westfield IN, Rachel Gehr, Phoenix, AZ, Sarah Samarin, Chattanooga, TN, Michael Samarin (Michelle), Memphis, TN and Lindsay Samarin, Knoxville, TN and Great-grandchildren Grace Gehr and Grayson Samarin and her cousins and nieces and nephews.

Entombment will occur in Williamsburg Chapel Mausoleum, Beaver Falls, PA. Memorial contributions can be made in her name to the New Brighton Public Library, 1021 3rd Avenue, New Brighton, PA 15066. The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to Providence Care Center and Denise Conley for their professionalism and loving care. The last few months with the lockdown due to Covid-19 was eased by the weekly FaceTime calls we were able to have and Patty was able to see her Great Granddaughter Grace on those calls and for our last weekly call she was able to see her Great Grandson, five day old, Grayson for the first time, this was the day she tested positive.
