Patricia Lynn Keaton

Patricia Lynn “Patty” Keaton, age 70, of Hamilton, Ohio, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 9, 2026, at Hospice of Hamilton North Inpatient Care Center, surrounded by compassionate care. She was born on March 22, 1955, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to the late Paul and Ray Anna Cavin (Woodyard).

Patty was a kind and generous soul who consistently put others before herself. Her caring nature defined her life and her work. As a caregiver, she found great joy and purpose in caring for those older than herself, offering not only help but heartfelt compassion. She also enjoyed volunteering her time at Bingo, where her warmth and friendly spirit were always appreciated.

Family and friends were at the heart of Patty’s life. She cherished time spent together, especially during family gatherings where her love shined through her cooking. A wonderful cook, Patty was known for her delicious pumpkin rolls and potato salad—beloved staples that will be dearly missed at every family event.

She also loved the simple joys of life. Patty enjoyed camping, especially trips to Hueston Woods, where she found peace in nature. She delighted in going for motorcycle rides, embracing the freedom of the open road and making memories along the way.

Patty was preceded in death by her parents; and her siblings, Paul Ray Cavin, Marsha Elaine Horne, and John Paul Cavin.

She is lovingly survived by her husband of 17 years—though they shared 26 wonderful years together—Richard Keaton; her daughter, Kerri Beth Partin; her son, Jim (Amy) Partin; her grandchildren, Makayla Partin, Jessika Partin, Olivia McCloud, Kali Ray Partin, Jonah Williams, and Ephram Williams; her sister, Karen (Lindon) Blevins; her step-daughter, Liz (Josh) Williams; as well as many extended family members and dear friends who will forever cherish her memory.

A visitation for Patty will be held on Sunday, January 18, 2026, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at Anderson Funeral Home, 1357 E. Second Street, Franklin, Ohio 45005. Inurnment at Crown Hill Cemetery will be planned later in the spring of 2026.
