Patricia Ann Donnelly
Patricia Ann Donnelly, 92, of Bellbrook, passed away peacefully Monday, Nov. 25, 2024 at the Hospice of Dayton.
She was born Aug. 4, 1932 in Frankfort, the daughter of the late Donald R. McCoppin and Alma Haines McCoppin.
Patricia graduated from Fairfield High School in 1950 and went on to attend Miami University before earning her degree from Wright State University. She dedicated over 30 years to teaching elementary school in the Springfield area, making a lasting impact on her students.
A lifelong member of the Christian faith, Patricia was an active member of the First Christian Church, and after moving to Bellbrook in 2012, attended Centerville Community Church.
In 1982, Patricia married Robert G. “Spud” Donnelly of Springfield. Together, they embraced life’s joys, including travel, playing cards, attending the Springfield Summer Arts Festival and creating cherished memories with family and friends. Spud’s six children became her own, and the couple enjoyed their retirement years with many trips to the beach and shared celebrations.
Patricia is survived by her two daughters from her first marriage, Gail Raymond and Kathy (Scott) Hull; five grandchildren, Kimberly Glass, Melissa Raymond, Lindsey (Chris) Godfrey, Jordan Hull and Brett Hull; and two great-grandsons, Harrison and Brooks Godfrey.
Patricia was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Robert, in 2012; her sister, Francis Colasurd in 2017; and her brother, Donald “Sonny” McCoppin in 2020.
She will be laid to rest in the Hillsboro Cemetery and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
