Patricia Hyde Obituary

Patricia Hyde

Pat Hyde- mother, grandma, sister, neighbor, friend- passed away peacefully on February 18, 2025. Pat led a fulfilling and amazing life beginning her journey growing up in West Toledo. She attended St. Agnes grade school, then with a group of her grade school pals entered Central Catholic High School. Pat loved music and singing, and would often harmonize with her mother, Ruth, while they stood at the sink doing the dishes at her home on Berwick Ave in West Toledo. Pat joined the Central Catholic Glee Club her sophomore year and participated in such excellent Central Operettas as Guys and Dolls, Oklahoma, and The Music Man. After graduating from Central, Pat attended the St. Vincent School of Nursing, achieving her RN degree, and then with a couple of her fellow nursing graduates, moved to Palo Alto, CA, to begin a nursing stint at the Stanford University Hospital. A gentleman by the name of Wayne Hyde of Oak Harbor had caught her eye before she left, and Pat came back to Toledo to marry Wayne in 1971. However, they did not stay long in Toledo, for Wayne had caught the California bug as well, and they moved back out to San Jose and started a family. After a few years, the heartstrings of home began to tug, and Pat and Wayne returned to the Toledo area to put down permanent roots with their kids. Once back in Ohio, Pat returned to nursing becoming a Medical Oncology Nurse at Flower Hospital, and over the years she helped so many along the road of their cancer journeys. Pat loved to travel, hitting the road one summer with some nursing pals and renting a car to tour the byways and cities of Europe. There were trips to Florida and Saint V's Nursing School Reunions to beautiful locales throughout the East. Pat adored each of her seven grandchildren and spent much of her time traveling to visit and spend time together. Visits from Grandma were something that her grandchildren were always excited to have. In these past few years as she dealt with dementia, Pat was visited regularly by a host of family, old friends and neighbors, former nursing colleagues, and so many who loved her. The vibrant and lovely person that she was will be so missed by All.

Pat was preceded in death by her husband, Wayne; parents, Ruth and Charlie; brother, Richard. Pat is survived by her children, Brian Hyde (Dee), Julie Haas (Bryan), Amy Hoey; her seven grandchildren, Conner, Reid, Lillian, Sophia, Lincoln, Benjamin, and Evelyn; and brother, Alan.

Visitation will be from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m., and the service will follow at 11:00 a.m. with a luncheon to follow.
