Patricia Mae Driscoll

Patrice M. Driscoll, 69, passed suddenly on June 28th, 2025, at home in Scottsdale, Arizona. She was born on March 9th, 1956, in Columbus, Ohio to the late Paul and Mary Rowland. One of three siblings, including Di Acree (Rowland), and the late Gary Thomas Rowland. Patrice married the love of her life, Thomas Driscoll, on May 12, 1979, in Columbus, Ohio. Supporting Thom, she has many nieces, nephews and in-laws that accompany him in mourning her sudden passing. Patrice and Thom were married for 46 wonderful years.

Patrice retired from Anheuser-Busch in Columbus, Ohio then went west with Thom to begin Genesis Engineering, an international corporation, as owner and vice president of operations. There with her wit, intelligence, and desire she helped drive Genesis into a multinational power. Through this undertaking she persevered making Thom the man he is today through willpower, drive, and a northward moral compass.

Patrice was also a master interior designer and endeavored to assist the stars of the screen with Patrice Artistic Interiors of Danville, California. If you've ever watched Monday Night Football, you may have known one of her famous clients.

An avid lover of life and a profound philanthropic force and with fiery red hair and confidence to spare, Patrice spent decades trotting the globe exploring and consuming all that nature and humanity had to offer. From the Louvre to Chicago, from Columbus to San Francisco, and from Southeast Asia to Arizona, one never knew where to expect her to answer the phone but answer it she did. She was the driving force behind many successes, the ladder that helped others climb out of failures, and was always available for advice as well as a shoulder upon which to lean.

With devout Christian beliefs, she was the ultimate friend, confidant, and companion, and with her loss, the world has lost sparkle. In accordance with her wishes, services will be private. Contributions in Patrice's memory may be made to Hospice of Central Ohio (https://www.ohioshospice.org/give/)
