Patricia Ann Reese, 81, of Westover, passed away Friday, Jan. 26, 2024, at Morgantown Healthcare Center.
She was born in Morgantown, on Oct. 2, 1942, a daughter of the late David Cyrus and Virginia (Stewart) Reese.
She was a loving mother, grandmother and sister. Patricia was hired as a Mon County art teacher in 1974, teaching at the former Westover Junior High School, South Junior High School, and retired from University High School in 2004. She was an active contributor to LOGO, an art education newsletter initiated by Monongalia County art teachers. LOGO eventually expanded to become a West Virginia newsletter for the West Virginia Art Education Association. As an artist, she was skilled in pen and ink drawings, printmaking, and calligraphy. She exhibited her art locally and statewide. Her “Calla Lilly III” was selected for exhibit at the prestigious Biannual Juried Exhibition in 1991, which toured the state for a year and was sponsored by the West Virginia Cultural Center in Charleston. Patricia loved her dogs but most importantly, she loved spending time with her family.
Patricia is survived by one son, Keith Nolan of Arthurdale; two grandsons, Richie Nolan and wife Sarah of Arthurdale, and Zach Nolan of Masontown; one great-grandson, Arlin Nolan; a brother, Jimmy Reese and wife Betty of Florida; and a sister-in-law, Donna Reese.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by one brother, David Reese; and one sister, Brenda Friend; and her husband, Ronald.
To honor her wishes, cremation services have been entrusted to the Field Funeral Home in Masontown. A memorial service will be held at a later date.
