Patricia J. Galow

It is with heavy hearts we announce that Patricia Joyce Galow, age 89, of Toledo, Ohio has passed away on February 20th, 2025, at Elizabeth Scott Community, where she has resided for the past 7.5 years. She was born January 20th, 1936, in Marion County Ohio to Kathryn and Roy Dean.

She married the love of her life Leo Joseph Galow on June 14th, 1952. He preceded her in death on January 30th, 1998, and is anxiously awaiting her arrival in heaven.

Pat had a personality that just radiated when you met her. There wasn’t a person in this world that she didn’t love, and none that didn’t love her. She was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to all.

Left to cherish her memory are her children, Patricia (Richard) Miller, Raymond Galow and Kelly Galow; grandchildren Kate Hugueley, Nicole (Michael) Monahan and Sarah (Sean) Sentle; great grandchildren Addison, Makenna, Mason, Ty and Connor and many nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents and husband she was preceded in death by her brother George (Sonny) Dean, Leslie (Ike) Dean and infant sister, Ruth Dean. Sister-in-laws Loretta Dean, Shirley Dean and Mary Rita Pierson. Brother-in-law Edgar Pierson and mother and father-in-law Mary and Leo Galow.

Our entire family would like to express our upmost appreciation and love to the fantastic nurses, aids and staff at Elizabeth Scott Community, who showed their love and devotion for our mom while caring for her the past 7.5 years. To put it mildly, “they were simply the best.” We would also like to thank Hospice of Northwest Ohio who helped care for her during her final months.
