Patricia L. "Pat” Troy, 96, of Chippewa Township, passed away peacefully on Monday, October 26, 2026, at home, surrounded by her family.

Born on March 31, 1930, in Washington, PA, she was the daughter of the late John and Catherine (Burns) Cavanaugh.

After graduating from Claysville High School, Pat moved to Chippewa and received her Nursing Degree from Providence Hospital. That is where she met, and later married her husband, Carl. Besides raising her family of 7 children, she enjoyed playing cards with her card club and playing bingo. She was an outstanding bowler – she even joined the “600 club” at White Township Lanes in 1984 (and her family will cherish the commemorative cross stitch that proves it!). She was active in her church, St. Monica.

She belonged to the Christian Mothers and later enjoyed the activities of the VSPs. She loved attending any and all events that her children and grandchildren were involved in. She was an excellent baker and provided delicious desserts for family dinners every Sunday. Most of all, Pat loved people and they loved her. Her children and grandchildren often joked about her immense FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) – she was the life of the party and hated to miss any event!

She is survived by her husband of 72 years, Carl S. Troy; children, Marianne (Rick) Knouse, Patricia (Robert) Selby, Janet Coy, Kathleen and Michael Troy; daughter-in-law, Judy Troy; grandchildren, Katie (Bill) Arensberg, Cameron Knouse, Katie (Michael) DiSantis, Marianne (Brad) Ginther, Rose Selby, Jesse (Becca) Coy, Heather (Keith) Fritz, Maria (Xavier) Crown, Jaye, Troy, and Carly Garcia, David and Sarah Troy, Rumer, Elizabet, and Salome Troy; eight great-grandchildren; along with numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by an infant daughter, two sons, Carl J. Troy and David J. Troy, son-in-law, Robert Coy; her siblings, Catherine (George) Murphy, John (Evelyn) Cavanaugh, Charles (Dolores) Cavanaugh, Bill (Ella) Cavanaugh, and Jim (Shirley) Cavanaugh; brother-in-law Richard (Charlene) Troy; and sister-in-law, Jean (Tony) Nudi.

The family would like to thank Pinnacle Hospice and the wonderful care she received from their team and especially her nurse, Jenna. Also, many thanks to Arcadia Home Care for her caregiver, Terri, who helped us immensely.
