Patty was born in Erie, Pennsylvania, and moved with her family to Louisville during her high school years. She worked at General Electric for several years before she met and married Phil Merz, the love of her life. She loved being a homemaker throughout their long married life.
Patty was preceded in death by her parents, Garry Thomas and Edna Gates Thomas, her brother Garry Thomas, and her husband Phil Merz. She is survived by her sons John Merz and his wife Deletta, Mark Merz and his wife Beth; grandchildren Erika Merz, Nick Merz, Anna Merz and her husband Nathan McConnell, and Evan Merz; great grandchildren Averee Kimsey, Evelyn Kimsey, and Camden Merz; and great nephew Garry Roberson.
Patty loved animals, especially her many dogs and cats over the years. She loved reminiscing about favorite family times, and all her family were very precious to her.
We will dearly miss our Mom, our Patty, and our GiGi.
