Patricia Margaret Gearhart

21, 2023, at the age 72.

Pat was born on October 21, 1950, in Bethesda, Maryland. She was the daughter of the late

Rosemary and Gerald Phelan. As part of a Military family, she grew up in many towns until her

family put down roots in Oxnard, California. Pat was a registered nurse for over 30 years,

providing compassionate patient care.

In addition to her nursing career, Pat was passionate about education and spent many years

volunteering in Paso Robles classrooms. She loved helping children learn and grow; her kind,

nurturing spirit left a lasting impression on everyone she worked with.

Pat was a devoted wife, mother, and friend. She was married to her beloved husband, Tim, for

43 years. Together they raised three wonderful children: Daniel, Katie, and Megan. Pat was a

dedicated and loving mother who always put her family first. She enjoyed spending time with her

loved ones and was known for her warm smile, generous heart, and infectious laughter.

Pat will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her. Her legacy of kindness,

compassion, and service will live on in the lives of those she touched.

A viewing and rosary will be held on March 23 from 5pm until 9pm at the Kuehl-Nicolay in Paso

Robles. A service will be held at Saint Rose Church on March 24 at 10:30, followed by a

gathering at Paso Robles Cemetery. A reception will be held following the cemetery at the Saint

Rose Parish Center. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made

at PatGearhart.org. Funds beyond the funeral costs will be donated to her favorite charities.
