Patricia Rose Neylon
In loving memory of Patricia Rose Neylon (nee Kovach), age 80, of Chardon Township, who peacefully passed away on April 15, 2024, surrounded by the warmth of her family’s love.
Born on May 28, 1943, to Frank S. and Rose M. (nee Toyzan) Kovach, in Painesville.
Patricia’s journey began at Harvey High School in Painesville, where she graduated with the class of 1961.
She met Phil Neylon when he was staying with his sister, right next door to her family’s home on Nebraska Street. Patricia’s heart skipped a beat as she watched Phil wash his car and, from that moment on, their love story unfolded. They exchanged vows two years later on Oct. 21, 1961. Together, they embarked on a life journey, settling on East King Street in Chardon, in 1967, where they raised their beautiful family of six children before finding their forever home on Woodin Road in Chardon Township.
She embraced her father’s passion for flowers and plants, always appreciating their beauty, and she could effortlessly name each one. An avid book reader, and an unwavering fan of the Cleveland Indians and Browns.
As her children grew, she worked at St. Denis Golf Course and Alpine Ski Lodge, where her kids benefited from perks of free golfing and skiing, which made for even more wonderful memories.
She enjoyed family gatherings. Spending time with her family was her greatest joy.
Her legacy lives on through her children, John (Holly) Neylon, of Chardon, Peter (Lia) Neylon, of Glendale, Ariz., Marion (Doug) Mathes, of Geneva, Bridget Neylon, of Chardon, Judy Neylon, of Chardon; son-in-law, Sean Wolcott, of Verona, Pa.; brother, Francis “Frank” (Valleri) Kovach, of Painesville; and her seven beloved grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by her parents; husband, Phil Neylon; and daughter Kellie Wolcott, whose memories remain etched in the hearts of those who knew and loved them.
