Patricia Louise Mikula

Patricia Mikula, 86, of Monessen PA passed away on 4/22/24 after an extended illness.

She was born on 3/28/1938 to George & Eleanor Johnson of Black Diamond, PA.  She leaves behind an incredible garden of friends and family that felt the love and joy that she brought to the world.  She was an incredible baker, an amazing artist, loved to dance, read voraciously, was a den mother, a tireless volunteer with Mon Valley Hospital, St. Vincent dePaul, St. Mary’s Church, Meals on Wheels, and the President of her local PTA. She was a wonderful gardener, a devoted friend to her “birthday group” and card group buddies, and a

 friendly neighbor who always had a kind word.  She made the best halupki on the planet.  But above all she was a wife, mother and grandmother who loved without measure.

She married Ed Mikula on 9/21/1963 and they had five children Mary, Ed, Cathy (passed), Jeff & Dave.

She was preceded by her husband Ed, her daughter Cathy, her parents, her brother George and sisters Pauline & Edith, and Ed’s siblings Betty,  George, John, and Ann.

She is survived by her children; her niece who was like a sister, Sandy; her best friend Lois; her grandchildren Amanda, Aaron, Will, Cynthia, Sean, Craig (Amanda), Theo, Annabelle, Jace, Jacob, and Annadea; four great grandchildren; and countless nephews and nieces.

There will be no funeral services as per her wishes.  In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you share a meal with those you love and donate to your local library or a cause of your choice.  The family will be hosting a celebration of life picnic this summer.
