Patricia Ann Moynihan, fondly known as Pat to her friends and family, passed away peacefully on August 17, 2024, after a courageous battle with cancer. Born on March 6, 1964, in Greendale, Wisconsin.


Pat grew up in Greendale with a close-knit family that shaped her early years. She was a beloved daughter to the late Timothy and Joyce Moynihan. Pat was a cherished sibling to her brothers, the late Timothy F. Moynihan, and survived by Steven P. Moynihan, and Paul A. Moynihan (Gail), as well as her devoted sisters, Therese Moynihan, Susan Paulson (Tom) , and Nora Lepak (Brett). She was a wonderful Aunt to many nieces and nephews. The bond she shared with her family was the cornerstone of her life, and she carried their love with her always.


Pat earned her BA in education, which propelled her into a life of service and education. Her passion for helping others led her to join the Peace Corps, where she served in Africa. Pat's journey of service continued as a teacher on the Navajo Reservation in New Mexico. Pat then returned home where she continued as an educator in both Milwaukee and Waukesha. Her colleagues and students remember her as a teacher who inspired many young minds to reach their fullest potential.


Pat also found joy in spending time with her family at their cottage, a place where many cherished memories were made. Pat's absence will be deeply felt by all who knew her, but her spirit will continue to live on through the lives she touched. Her laughter, wisdom, and unwavering support were gifts to everyone around her.


Pat passed away in Franklin, Wisconsin, surrounded by the love of her family. She leaves behind a gift of love, education, and service that will not be forgotten.


She was a beloved daughter, sister, aunt, teacher, and friend. Pat's story is one of inspiration, her memory will be treasured forever. Pat will be dearly missed.
