Patricia "Patsy" Kern

On the evening of May 26, 2026 Patricia "Patsy" Kern passed away peacefully at her home in Columbus. She was 78 years old.

Patsy was employed for Sears in Toledo and transferred to Columbus in 1983. After leaving Sears she worked at Discover Card and Tekcollect until retiring in 2020. She loved her job and rarely did she miss a day of work. 

Patsy graduated from Sylvania High School. She enjoyed singing and was a member of the Toledo Chorale Society. She was also very talented and took classes at the Toledo Museum of Art. 

Patsy was so funny and happy all the time. You just loved hanging out with her. She was the most loving, caring and giving person on earth. Always there to listen, help or comfort anyone. Patsy was an incredible woman and the best sister in the world. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her. 

Remaining to cherish her memory is her brother, John C. (Debbie Nisch) Kern, Jr. along with work family and close friends. 

We could not end this without thanking the Vanblarcume Family, Jamie, Johnny, Ryan and Brandon. They were her 2nd family and she loved them so much. 

There is so much to say about Patsy other than goodbye. For a little lady she sure left a big footprint. 

Those wishing to donate in Patsy's memory are asked to consider St. Jude's Children Hospital.

The family will receive guests on Wednesday, June 10, 2026 from 10:00 am until the start of the Funeral Service at 12:00 pm at Newcomer Funeral Home - West Sylvania Chapel, 3655 King Rd, Toledo. Burial will immediately follow at Toledo Memorial Park.
