Patricia A. Stellete-Eacho, 81, of Quinton, Virginia, passed away on Tuesday, October 27, 2026. Born May 8, 1945, Patricia will be remembered with deep respect for a life marked by steadfast devotion to family, loyal friendship, and a generous spirit that made room for so many.
Patricia was preceded in death by her first husband, Charles Stellete; her second husband, Donald Eacho; along with her best friends, Nancy Withrow, Barbara Barton, Susan Burnett, and Carolyn Shore.
For 24 years, Patricia worked as a Payroll and Benefits Administrator with Capital Pontiac GMC, serving with reliability and care in the work she did and the people she supported. She was also a member of the Women of the Mosse for 50 years at the Sandston Moose Lodge, reflecting a long-standing commitment to community and fellowship.
Patricia found joy in the simple and lasting pleasures of life—fishing, reading, gardening, and cooking, along with all the “typical grandma things” that made home feel warm and welcoming. She especially loved cruising and traveling, taking more than 25 cruises over the years and embracing the opportunity to see new places and make new memories.
Patricia is survived by her daughter, Tina S. Windham and husband, Lenny; her son, Charles B. Stellete and wife, Janet; her grandchildren, Candace Kohlhepp and husband Tommy, Westley Stellete, and Brooke Stellete; and her great-grandson, Maddox Kohlhepp; as well as many "adopted" children who knew her simply and lovingly as “Mama Pat.”
Visitation will be held on Thursday, November 5, 2026, from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. at Nelsen Funeral Home, 4650 South Laburnum Avenue, Richmond, VA 23231, where a funeral service will be held on Friday, November 6, 2026, at 2 p.m. Interment will follow in Washington Memorial Park.
