Patsy R. Novotny, 95, of Oregon, Ohio, a loving wife to Frank for over 60 years, devoted mother and grandmother, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, August 19, 2026 with her loving family by her side. She was born in Toledo, Ohio on August 4, 1931, to Joseph and Elizabeth (Toth) Koschalk. Patsy graduated from Central Catholic High School in 1949 and shortly after married the love of her life, Frank Novotny who preceded her in death. She was a devout catholic, lifelong member of Epiphany of the Lord Parish- St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, and their oldest parishoner. Patsy was unselfish, always providing for her family with whatever was needed. She made sure to attend all of her grandchildren's different events throughout the years. Patsy and her late husband enjoyed spending summers at Sand Beach and winters in Seabring, Florida. Together they also enjoyed being with their group of 8 friends, traveling, playing cards and spending time with each other. She enjoyed cheering on the Michigan Wolverines and spending time watching golf, but what she cherished most was her loving family.

She is survived by her children, Susan (Mike Hochradel), Jeff Novotny; grandchildren, Kaylah (Kyle Ellis) Menchaca, Cameron (Madison Sample) Menchaca; and Jacqueline Novotny. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Frank; and siblings, Rudy Koschalk and Ellie Miller.
