Obituary
Patricia Elmer Daniels, Harrisonville, MO, went to be with the Lord on Friday, April 21, 2017, surrounded by her family. Funeral Mass was held Wednesday, April 26 at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Harrisonville with inurnment in Orient Cemetery, Harrisonville. Contributions may be made to the church or to Serenity Care Hospice.
Patricia was born in Hinkley, NY, the daughter of Earl and Bernadette (Cameron) Elmer. The family eventually moved to Oriskany Falls, New York where Patricia graduated from Oriskany Falls High School. After graduation, she attended and graduated from Utica School of Commerce. During World War II, while employed at Griffiss Air Force Base Hospital in Rome, New York, as a secretary to the flight surgeon, Patricia met her future husband, Capt. Charles Daniels, Army Air Corp. They were married on June 27, 1945 in Oriskany Falls, New York and settled in Rome, and in 1970 they moved to Harrisonville, MO.
Throughout her life, Patricia volunteered her services to her church and to schools. She particularly enjoyed the role of high school reading tutor, being an avid reader herself. Patricia also enjoyed quilting, playing Bunco, the Red Hats, and traveling with close friends and family. Patricia had an adventuresome spirit, and at the age of 84, excitedly took her first hot air balloon ride.
Patricia was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Charles in 1984, a sister, Dorothy Carlson, brothers, Father Victor Elmer, OFM, and Bernard Elmer; sons-in-law, Stan Matusz and Walter Senus. She is survived by daughters, Dolores Senus of Oak Hill, Virginia, Catherine Matusz and husband, Scott Millbower, Rome, New York, and Phyllis Miller and husband, Jake, Harrisonville; 9 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; sister-in-law, Ruth Elmer, and several nieces and nephews.
Patricia was extremely grateful for the care given by Phyllis and Jake in their home the last three years. She looked forward to, and cherished, the frequent visits from great-grandson, Charlie Miller. Patricia was a member of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Harrisonville, and was very thankful for Donna Overcast, who faithfully administered the Eucharist to Patricia the last few years.
The family sincerely thanks the entire staff at Serenity Care Hospice, especially Jamie Ford, RN and Chaplain Theresa Dembeck, for their outstanding care and concern.
