Patricia (Pat) Polski, age 91, of Beavercreek, Ohio, passed away on May 3, 2025 at The Ridge in Beavercreek, an Alzheimer’s care facility. Pat was born November 30, 1933 to the late Charles and Helen (Nagy) McDaniel in Dayton, Ohio. Pat and her older brother, the late Reverend Rodney McDaniel, were raised in Eaton, Ohio. After graduating from Eaton High School in 1952, Pat moved to Dayton. She lived at the YWCA and then the Loretto, an all-female Catholic residence hall. Her first job was at Ohio Bell and then she went to work at NCR in the billing department. On May 7, 1960, Pat married the love of her life, Alfred (Al) Polski. She then worked as a receptionist/assistant at a physician’s office until “retiring” from the professional world to raise their daughter, Annette. Pat enjoyed traveling, dining out, gardening, and spending time with friends and family. She was an active member of the Holy Name Society at St. Luke Church. Pat was also a dog lover and had two collies. She will be remembered for her friendliness, kindness, and spunky personality.
Pat is survived by her husband Al of almost 65 years, daughter, Annette (Adam) Nirode, and grandson Anthony. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and aunt.
