Cambest, Jr. Beloved mother of Jack (Jane Ann), David, Bob (Laura Schoch), Ron (Sherri Lynn) Cambest and Susan (Martin) Houser. Loving grandmother of Jackie (Kat), Lauren (Brandon), Justin (Margarita), Benjamin, Emelia, Libby, Joey and Johnny. Loving GiGi of Jameson, Henry, Elaina and Rosalie.

Patricia will be sadly missed by numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

Pat was a kind, gracious, loving mother and wife. She cherished her relationships with friends and family and gathered friends wherever she went, always offering a smile and a kind word. She had a special gift for noticing who might be lonely or feel left out and extending her love and kindness to them. She was affectionately known as ‘Mom Cambest’ to many. She was an avid cook, loved reading, music, traveling, and sharing the joy of discovering a great bargain. Pat was a talented artist, a hobby she pursued throughout her life. She was a faithful member of St. Catherine’s Catholic Church in Beechview for over 60 years. Special thank you to the Staff and her friends at Brookdale Mt. Lebanon where Pat lived a vibrant, happy life for the past five years. And special thank you to her ‘Marini Girls’ for making her part of their family. She was a bright light in this world and will truly be missed, more than words can say. Patricia’s family would like to thank Gallagher Hospice, especially Erica, Beth and Dave for their compassionate and loving care.
