Peacefully, on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, at Trillium Villa Nursing Home, Patricia Ellen McEachern passed away at the age of 80 years old. Loving Mother of Shealin (Randy) Bird. Beloved Sister of Dan (Sue) Kelly and Joe (Cathy) Kelly. Patricia is predeceased by her parents Bernard and Irma Kelly, her sisters Colleen Kelly and Ann (Bill) Barnes, and her husband Bruce McEachern. Dear friend of Rita Silvestri and Sandy Lunn. She will be deeply missed by many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Patricia had a deep love for knitting. Rarely was she without her knitting bag by her side, and her needles seemed to follow her wherever she went. She cherished the time she spent around the table playing cards, where laughter, friendly competition, and conversation were always in abundance. Patricia found happiness in the company of others and the comfort of the traditions she loved. Cremation has taken place. Family and friends will be received at Smith Family Centre, 1576 London Line, Sarnia, on Friday, March 13th, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. Sympathy may be expressed through donations to Lochiel Kiwanis Community Centre (cheques only at the funeral home please). Arrangements entrusted to Smith Funeral Home, 1576 London Line, Sarnia. Memories and condolences may be sent online at www.smithfuneralhome.ca
