Patricia Maureen Nicholas

Patricia Maureen Nicholas, 66 years old, of Atchison, Kansas, passed on Sunday at Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph, after a short illness.

Born in Marysville, Kansas, Patricia and her family quickly moved to Douglas, Arizona, where she proceeded to live until her teenage years. Patricia moved to the Atchison area where she stayed for over 40 years. Patricia retired after 20 years from Lawrence Public Schools where she was a Database Analyst Administrator. Patricia was a member of St. Benedict Parish in Atchison, attending St. Joseph Church.

Patricia is survived by her husband, George Nicholas; her children: Natalie Ochoa (Jason), Holly Moore (Ken), Hillary Stillings (Seth), James Nicholas.

She is also survived by her grandchildren: Devvon Ochoa (Gina), Dawn Weaver, Corey Ochoa, Kenny Gulley, Roger Moore (Cassandra), Peyton Winfrey (Caleb), Kelsey Moore, Dalton Jeanneret, Graham Stillings; as well as great grandchildren: Roger Moore Jr., Thea and Mila Ochoa, Avaya and Gianna Ochoa, Mylo Winfrey, Jayden and Jru Downing, Kennedy, Kahlia and Bronx Gulley.

Patricia was a picky eater as an adult and couldn't stand pepper on her corn or mushy bread. Her most classic family joke was "Sock Bug" and the forbidden black socks. Her love for Batman, books and the love she had for all her family will live strong in their hearts forever.

Patricia has been cremated. Mass of Christian burial will be Thursday, September 29, 2022 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Joseph Church. Burial will follow in Mt. Calvary Cemetery.
