Patricia Ann Barnhart

Patricia Ann Barnhart 68 of Connellsville passed away Monday February 17, 2025 after a long battle with cancer. She was born on November 11, 1956 in Mill Run, the daughter of the late Garfield Shroyer and Rosetta Snyder Shroyer Bowers. Patricia lived life to the fullest no matter how much she was battling with being sick. She was a fighter, determined to get up each day and make it count. She was an active member of the Connellsville Police Auxiliary for 24 years and a member of the Connellsville Lions Club. She loved being around family and friends, painting, being outdoors, gardening, her job, collectables, birds, flowers, and fixing things. She loved all her animals, her own and ones she had taken in. She enjoyed helping those around her, whether it was a ride to an appointment, lending $10 or a helping hand. She could make a friend anywhere she went. Her smile and laugh was contagious. Patricia was a proud mom, grandmother, sister and aunt. She is survived by her son Edward Shawley and his wife Jenni of Mill Run, her daughter Leslie Shawley and fiancee Dave of Mt. Pleasant, grandsons, Isaiah and Devon Shawley, granddaughters Isabella Shawley and LeAnna Ruccio, her sisters Ann Hunt of Mill Run, Mabel Palmer of Connellsville, Mildred Shroyer of Connellsville, and nieces and nephews. She also leaves behind her friend/companion Frank. Patricia is predeceased by her husband Timothy Barnhart in 1997 and her brother Lee L. "Danny" Shroyer. She will be greatly missed and we hope that everyone that has known her will remember her as an outgoing, hard working, kind hearted person and that no matter what life threw at her, she was a fighter. Family and friends will be received Friday from 2-8 PM in the Mark C. Brooks Funeral Home Inc., at the corner of Route 711 and 146 Municipal Building Rd., Melcroft (724-455-2310) where a Funeral Service will be held Saturday at 11:00 AM, with Pastor Pete Salko, officiating.
