Patricia Mysliwiec Obituary

Mysliwiec (nee Nolan), Patricia Ann

Patricia Ann Mysliwiec passed away at the age of 85, on Monday, October 27, 2025, at Lightways Hospice, surrounded by the love of her family. Patricia was born on March 3, 1940, the daughter of the late Thomas and Mary (nee O'Connor) Nolan.

Patricia retired from Mark Zuro and Son's Meat Packing Company as their dedicated bookkeeper for many years. She was an avid reader who could often be found with a good book in hand. She also loved to crochet, creating countless afghans for family and friends. Patricia loved watching murder mysteries, and she shared a special tradition of watching Jeopardy with her husband, competing to see who could answer first. She loved to have fun, teaching her grandsons the fine basics of gambling, whether it was betting on horses, trying their luck at the slot machines, or playing a good game of Texas Hold 'Em.

Patricia is survived by her loving husband, Kenneth; daughter, Mary Therese (Raymond) Smuskiewicz; grandsons, Joseph and Kevin Smuskiewicz; and goddaughter, Marie (Tom) Kaiser.

She was preceded in death by her brother, Thomas Nolan.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Lightways Hospice.

Due to her request, cremation rites have been accorded, and there will be no services at this time.
