CANFIELD – Patricia Mayerchak, 61, went home to be with the Lord on March 29, 2020.  

Patricia was born May 13, 1958 in Youngstown, a daughter of the late Andrew and Mary Bocskay Mayerchak.  

Patricia graduated from Leonard-Kirtz School, and was a valued worker at the Bev MASCO Workshop. She then retired to the Accessible Workshop & Activity Center.

Patricia loved our Lord Jesus. She belonged to Immaculate Conception Church, where she was a Eucharistic minister. She also loved reading the bible with her friend Sherry.

Patricia had many hobbies and interests. She enjoyed knitting, crocheting, needlepoint, word find books, and puzzles. She loved sports, especially the Cleveland Browns, Indians, and Cavs, and even won awards from the Special Olympics in both swimming and bowling. Patricia had a passion for music and dancing, especially country, Elvis, and Michael Jackson, and enjoyed going to the many dances with her Workshop friends. She also had a terrific memory for knowing both songs and their artists and movies and their stars.

Most of all, Patricia will be remembered for her contagious smile and her sweet, compassionate nature to all those around her. She was wonderful at comforting others, and loved living life to its fullest.  

Patricia leaves behind to cherish her memory, her siblings, Mary (Mayerchak) Puhala, Andrew Mayerchak, Louise (Mayerchak) DePietro, and Joanne (Mickey) Yurco, as well as many nieces and nephews.
