Notes:

Patricia “Pat” A. Garvey, 61, of Loveland, Ohio, unexpectedly passed away peacefully on May 15, 2024, in her home. Pat was born on August 10, 1962, in Niagara Falls, N.Y., the daughter of the late Leo F. Garvey and Jane Zymroz Garvey and devoted sister of Julia. Pat loved meeting new people and exploring new places, which would later become her trademark in life. She found her true calling in the hotel and tourism industry. She enjoyed a long career in the industry, in marketing and contract negotiations with organizations such as Winegardner Hammons, The Commonwealth Hotels, and finally, the Northern Kentucky Convention Center, from which she recently retired. Pat loved to travel, play golf, and was fiercely competitive in trivia and euchre. She enjoyed chats with neighbors passing by while outside with her loving companion, Murphy, her 5-year-old Aussie Doodle. Her humor kept everyone in stitches, and she especially enjoyed little “gotcha” jokes. She was a dedicated member of her HOA Board of Directors and devoted her time and talents to improving the community's fiscal health and encouraging others to volunteer. Pat's deep faith in Catholic beliefs was at the core of her being. As a devoted member of Good Shepherd Church, she enjoyed serving others as part of the Eucharistic Team. She was dedicated to making sure neighbors who could not attend Mass received communion in their homes. Pat was a loving daughter, a faithful companion to her sister, a trusting, kind, compassionate friend and neighbor, and the best dog mom ever. Pat was survived by her mother, sister, relatives, and friends. The family asks that in lieu of flowers to please donate to The American Cancer Society. Visitation will be held from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM on Friday, May 24, at Tufts Schildmeyer Funeral Home, 129 Riverside Ave, Loveland, OH 45140. A Catholic Mass will be held at 10:00 AM Saturday, May 25, at The Good Shepherd Catholic Church, 8815 East Kemper Road, Cincinnati, OH 45249.
