Patricia Jean Benyo

On June 13, 2023, Patricia Jean Woods Benyo came fully into the presence of the Lord after a brief 
battle with cancer.  She passed surrounded by the love of her family.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Martha Woods; and her brother, Robert Woods, with whom she is now reunited in Heaven.

Patricia was born on March 28, 1944, in Youngstown, Ohio, and graduated in 1962 from Austintown Fitch High School. As a young woman, she was passionate about the arts, focusing on the clarinet and pursuit of her nursing degree.  With the birth of her children she stepped away from nursing to focus her energies on being a full-time matriarch to her family, a role she fulfilled to her very last day on earth.

Patricia leaves behind her devoted husband of fifty-seven years, Eugene Benyo; along with her three children; Brian (Deborah) Benyo, Alex (Victoria) Benyo, and Bethany (Eric) Carlson. She is also survived by her seven grandchildren: Thomas (Kelsey), Brian Jr, Kyle (Tori), Blake and Kara Benyo, Alexis (Conor) Chrystal, and Gavin Batdorff, as well as a great-grandson, Jack William Chrystal.

All who were blessed to know her knew her as a compassionate, dedicated, selfless amazing wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Patricia loved all kinds of projects, crafts, gardening, home design, sewing and quilting, as well as traveling to St. Maarten.  She enjoyed countless hours watching her children and grandchildren participate in their various activities.  She embraced being a grandmother and loves nothing more in life than being surrounded by her grandchildren, who will miss her dearly.

To honor Patricia’s wishes, there will be no calling hours or service, we ask for prayers of peace for the family during this time.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in memory of Patricia to the Pregnancy Help Center at www.pregnancyhelpcenter.com  or 4845 Market Street #13, Youngstown, Ohio 44512.
