Helen Patricia Eveleth, 88, of Pensacola, Florida passed away on Monday, April 12, 2021.
​Helen Patricia (Patty) Eveleth (Kebler)
June 26th, 1932 – April 12th, 2021
Beloved wife of Mack E. Eveleth and exceptional mother of five sons -- Mike, Jim, Bill, Paul, and Wade, passed peacefully after a short illness on Monday night, April 12th.
 
Mack and Patty celebrated their 70th Wedding Anniversary on March 31st, 2021, with many phone calls and visits from their family members and a delicious strawberry shortcake.
 
Patty is survived by a legacy of 30+ family members, including Mack, their five sons, and four beloved
daughters in law – Suzi, Deb, Sue, and Holli, nine grandchildren, Jonathan and Sarah, Kara, Jacy and Holly, Ashley and Rachel, and Hannah and Molly their respective spouses and ten great grandchildren, all who loved spending time with their Grandma and Nana. As a tribute to both her mothering ability and her exceptional genes, all the above-mentioned descendants are alive, well, and living great and happy lives.
 
If there was ever a woman meant to be the mother of boys, it was Patty. Even at her 5’5 stature, she still held down the law to her 6’+ brood of sons (ok Paul is 5’10). She knew exactly how much rope to let out and when it was time to reel it back in. All five sons feel blessed to have had Patty as their mom.
 
Patty was surrounded by her sons and grandchildren up to the end, all sharing loving and funny memories together around her bedside, just how she would like it. Her lifelong Catholic Faith tells us that she is now in Heaven enjoying the company of the family that went before her and making and freezing cookies in preparation for those yet to come.
 
She will be missed and was greatly loved.
 
A memorial mass will be held at St. Anne’s Catholic Church in Pensacola, FL on Friday, May 7th at 1:00 pm. All are welcome.

At the age of 7 her family moved to the beautiful Emerald Coast that Cheryl called “home” for the rest of her days. Cheryl could usually be found in one of 2 places, at work where she spent many years with the Bruner Law Firm or with her kids. Cheryl loved her kids unconditionally and was always their biggest fan and supporter. She never missed the chance to attend any of their athletic events. Aside from her children’s teams she was a big fan of the Dallas Cowboys.

Cheryl was a force to be reckoned with. She was fierce and never took “no” for an answer. She was full of jokes and knew how to make anyone smile even during her final days. Cheryl was so loved and will be
missed by many including her great Dane Bella.
 
Thank you to our family, friends, and neighbors for your kindness and generosity during this time.
