Patricia Hughes Munger



It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our wonderful, kind and selfless mother, Patricia Ann (Hughes) Munger. Our hearts are comforted in the certainty that she is now with God in Paradise. She departed this world on November 23, 2025 after a brief illness, surrounded by our love until her last breath.

Today we pause to recognize the many children who are grieving the loss of someone they love. Grief can be overwhelming at any age, but for children—who are still learning how to understand and express big emotions—support from caring adults and a compassionate community makes all the difference.

Let us remember to:
~ Acknowledge that children grieve, too
~ Listen without judgment
~ Offer patience, understanding, and safe spaces
~ Remind them they are not alone

Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, educator, or friend, your support of grieving children matters more than you know.
