Patricia Ann Blashinsky, 75, lost her battle with lung cancer on Saturday November 5, 2011.
She left us for her new home while surrounded by her family. Armed with her “Indian Blood”, she battled lung cancer caused by smoking. During chemo and radiation she enjoyed the full time company and gentle care of her granddaughter Jamie.
She was married to her only love, John (The Tire Man) Blashinsky for 58 years, who died in May 2011. They had 5 daughters, Renee’, Diana, Karen, JoAnn and Julie as well as three sons-in –law, seven grand children and two great grand children. She also had many nieces and nephews. Pat had three sisters and is survived by Patricia Steimel and is preceded in death by Thelma Caldwell and Betty Welch.
While Pat traveled and enjoyed doing so, she really loved getting home and being with her beloved poodle Luci. She will be sorely missed by her family, especially her friend and eldest daughter Renee’. They lived side by side for many years, and had a special bond.
A Memorial Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, November 10, 2011 at St. Mary Catholic Church, 251 North Main St., Marion with Fr. Michael Nimocks officiating. Burial will follow in St. Mary Cemetery in Marion. There will be no calling hours.
Donations should be made to the American Cancer Society Colon/Rectum Cancer in care of the Denzer-Farison-Hottinger & Snyder Funeral Home.
The Denzer-Farison-Hottinger & Snyder Funeral Home is honored to have been chosen to serve Pat’s family, and condolences may be expressed to them online by visiting www.snyderfuneralhomes.com.
