Patricia Jenese Isaacs

Patricia Jenese Isaacs, age 64, of Toledo, Ohio passed away on Tuesday, March 10, 2015 surrounded by her family and friends. She was born on January 3, 1951 in Cincinnati, Ohio to Thornton “Bud” Bowman and Beverly Ann Harrison. Patricia, or Patty to her friends, was a Mother, Grandmother, Wife, Sister, Aunt, Nurse, Soldier, and most importantly a friend. Graduating from PHS in 1969, she completed her nursing studies in Toledo, and started a family. A natural healer and caretaker, she fulfilled a long career in the medical field which included serving as an officer in the Army Medical Corps, managing a Dialysis unit, and obtaining specialties in cardiology and nephrology. Always a voice for her patients, she truly loved her career. The impact she left on her patients’ lives stayed with them long after their sickness was cured. Estimating the amount of people she provided care for would be impossible. A voracious reader, Patty also engaged her creative side with practiced skills in cooking and knitting. Her greatest passion, however, were her friends and family, whom she held higher than anything. Left weary after a prolonged illness, she moved on from this life, stoically on her own terms. She is survived by her sons, Ivan (Kristi) Szilak and Alex (Alaina) Szilak; grandson, Sam; brother Geoffrey (Susan) Bowman; sister, Deborah (Jay) Richmond; lifelong friends, John and Patti Gallagher. Patricia was preceded in death by her parents. A Memorial Service will be held at the Maison-Dardenne-Walker Funeral Home, 501 Conant Street, Maumee on April 4, 2015 at 10:00 AM. Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of Northwest Ohio, 30000 E. River Road, Perrysburg, Ohio 43551. Online condolences may be shared with the family at walkerfuneralhomes.com
