Patricia Joan Crenner, 86, of Forest Park, Ohio, peacefully passed away on November 4, 2025. Born on January 14, 1939, in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, Patricia lived a life full of love and compassion, touching the hearts of those around her. A dedicated mother and grandmother, she cherished her family above all else. Patricia is survived by her son, Jeff Crenner, and his wife, Wanda; her beloved granddaughter, Angela Crenner; and her step-grandson, Jimmy Thery, along with his wife, Shannon. She also leaves behind her step-great-grandchildren, Camden, Kennedy, and Connor.

Patricia’s love for animals was unmatched. She took great joy in caring for her cats and for any stray cats, feeding birds, and nurturing any animal that crossed her path. Her compassionate spirit extended to her Christian faith, which guided her throughout her life. Patricia had a zest for life that shone bright, especially during family gatherings at her late sister Marion’s home, where they often celebrated the holidays together with laughter and joy. Her beautiful inground pool was a gathering place for family fun and wonderful memories.

She had a varied career, having worked at Lerner, Queen City Paper, and ultimately retiring from Ris Papers, where she was a devoted Accounts Receivable specialist. Patricia’s favorite color was purple, a reflection of her vibrant personality.

Patricia was also a loving sister to John Beskitt Jr. and his wife Sue, and a cherished aunt to her niece, Renee Carr, and nephews Brian Beskitt and his wife Lisa and Rod Beskit and his wife Sue. She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Violet Beskitt, her sister and brother-in-law Marian and Lloyd Carr, her nephew Lloyd Carr Jr., and her niece Patti Carr.
