Patricia "Patty" Ann Sparks

Patricia “Patty” Ann Sparks (Hampton), 86, of Oxford, Ohio passed away on April 18th, 2026 at Hospice of Butler Warren County. Patty was born on May 27, 1939 in Oxford, Ohio to Everett and Helen Hampton. She was part of the first graduating class at Talawanda High School in 1957. She met her husband, Clyde, at church, which has been the center of their lives. Their faith has created a legacy for their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. They enjoyed traveling together and with their family. They were blessed to have visited all 50 states, Alaska being her favorite!

She is survived by her husband Clyde of 67 years, daughters: Susan Downie and Virginia (Billy) Gilbert, two special Grandchildren: Cameron (Alyssa) Earles, Hollie (Brandon) Hammond. Five very special great grandchildren: Lilyanah, Liam & Lainey Earles, Beau & Maddux Hammond, her Sister: Betty Taylor & Special sister in Law, Jan Hampton, as well as numerous special nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brothers Richard, Everett Jr and Harold Hampton, her son in law Tom Downie, and her dearly missed son Darold, who she is finally reunited with in heaven.

Patricia worked as a bank teller at First National Bank, and worked at Talawanda City Schools. The most rewarding job she had was being a caring and loving stay-at-home mom, pouring into her family every day. She is most known for her love for God and her devotion to her family. She was also very supportive in all aspects of her family’s life. If there was a show choir competition, sports event, or church function, she was everyone’s biggest cheerleader, and everyone’s grandmother. She enjoyed spending time with her family playing dominos, golf cart rides and truly found joy watching her family make memories.

Patricia’s family would like to send a heartfelt thank you to the team at the Hospice of Butler Warren County Inpatient Unit, who provided such amazing love and care to her during these unimaginable times throughout her final journey.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, April 22, 2026 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at AP Church, 5450 College Corner Pike, Oxford, OH 45056. Funeral service will be held at 12:00 PM. Officiating will be her Grandson, Cameron Earles. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hospice of Butler Warren County Inpatient Unit.

Patricia will always have a special place in our hearts and will never be forgotten. She has left a mark on all she has come in contact with, and our lives are forever changed because of it. We have peace in our hearts that she has finally heard the words, “well done good and faithful servant”. She will be so deeply missed, and we can’t imagine this life without her, but we are looking forward to the next time we see her in heaven as she greets us at the gates.

Kate Rae Emmert Wespiser

Kate Rae Emmert Wespiser, 95, passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 2, 2026. In her many years, Kate touched countless lives and leaves behind a legacy that continues to inspire. From the thousands of students she taught to the many organizations she supported, her love of the arts and genuine kindness made everyone she met feel special and valued.

Kate greatly missed her husband of 66 years, Joe, daughter, Melissa and son-in-law Holt. She loved spending time with her daughters Melinda and Marcia, their husbands, Jim and Mike, three granddaughters and grandson, and five great-granddaughters. To have known Kate was a blessing, and to have been loved by her was a gift beyond measure.

An independent spirit and a true firecracker until the end, Kate was cracking jokes, talking collegiate sports and encouraging her family to achieve their dreams. She will forever be cheering on all of the Miami University teams, the Cincinnati Reds, Bengals, and all the sports she loved.

A Celebration of Life in honor of Kate will be held on June 27, 2026 at 11a.m. at the Knolls of Oxford. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Kate R. Wespiser Endowment Fund at the Oxford Presbyterian Church, 101 N. Main Street, Oxford, Ohio 45056.

Susan Ann Pater

Susan Ann Sicking Pater was born on February 27, 1944, and died on April 8, 2026. She is survived by her husband, Gerry, her daughters and their husbands, Julie and Rick Sheppard, Lisa and Dave Sabourin, and Megan and Damon Halverson, and her ten grandchildren, Ryan, Jack, Charlie, and Vivian Sheppard, Mary, Ian, and Paul Sabourin, and Eli, Josie, and Gwen Halverson.

Susan was the loved daughter of Victor and Virginia Sicking. She was raised knowing she was deeply loved, and encouraged to be creative, to be independent, to be generous. She was valedictorian when she graduated from Summit Country Day High School, ending her speech with, “We can change the world, we must change the world” --she was smart, compassionate, an idealist. She went on to get degrees in Fine Arts and in Art Education at the University of Cincinnati–her talent and her desire to make the world more beautiful guiding her.

She and Gerry were married on December 27, 1966–their marriage of almost 60 years was full of travel, family game nights, soccer games, tennis matches, walks on the island and through the neighborhood, faith, and building a community of friends and family that was like no other. They packed their girls in the station wagon every summer and saw the beauty of our 50 states, and Susie and Gerry visited 92 countries, always adventurous and appreciative of the beauty of God’s world and its cultures.

Susan was a lifelong art teacher and an award-winning watercolorist, and she was honored to be a Signature Member of the Ohio Watercolor Society. She will live on through her paintings that adorn so many homes and galleries. She was a Healing Touch Practitioner, offering support and calm and healing to all who sought it. She was a room mom, a Girl Scout troop leader, a tennis coach, and a community leader. She was the very best mom–letting her daughters play and create and be who they felt called to be, supporting them through every joy and challenge of life. And Susie was the most amazing “Gramma” --spending the night when the babies were born, taking the kids to the park and to plays and on shopping sprees, cheering at every volleyball match and basketball game, traveling to Switzerland and Brazil so that her bond with the Sheppard kids would constantly strengthen despite distance. She created an individual relationship with each grandchild, making sure they knew how deeply they were known and loved.

Susan was a kind and generous friend to so many–she loved her pickleball crew and her book club, her mahjong friends, and the couples they shared bridge games and dinner parties with for a lifetime. She will be remembered with such love and gratitude by so many.

We will celebrate Susan’s life at the Visitation at the Brown Dawson Flick Funeral Home (1350 Millville Avenue in Hamilton) on Thursday, April 23, 2026, from 5 to 8pm, and at the funeral mass on Friday, April 24th, at 9:30am, at St. Peter in Chains Church (382 Liberty Avenue in Hamilton). In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Badin High School, in honor of Susan Pater, to create a scholarship fund for a young artist.

We would like to thank Hospice of Cincinnati in Hamilton for their gentle and compassionate care. Our gratitude runs deep for all of the love and support that is surrounding our family as we grieve.

Juanita May Young

Juanita May Young, age 96, of Hamilton, Ohio, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, in the loving care of hospice at StoryPoint West Chester. She was born on August 31, 1929, in Hamilton, Ohio, the daughter of the late Arthur and Dorothy Ruhe Guy.

It is likely no coincidence that she chose to leave us on the birthday of her daughter Cynthia, who had gone before her — as though the pull of those lost too soon was finally too strong to resist.

On December 23, 1987, Juanita married Stillman “Bud” Young, and the two shared over 32 years together — bickering in the way that only a truly loving couple does. A woman of remarkable strength and resilience, Juanita built a life defined by hard work and devotion to her family. She enjoyed a career at Pillsbury and later retired from General Motors, both in Hamilton — a testament to her steadfast work ethic.

In her heart, nothing compared to the joy of being surrounded by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her strength was quiet but undeniable, and those who loved her knew it well.

Juanita was preceded in death by her children, Cynthia Wertz and Gary Reist; her husband, Stillman “Bud” Young; her sister, Mary Cook; and her great-grandchild, Wyatt Duckworth.

She is lovingly survived by her grandchildren, Jennifer (Joe) Sackenheim, Christine (Herminio) Carrasquillo, Stephanie (Heidi) Jorgensen, Tyler Wertz, Julie (Chris) Hobbs, and Patrick (Kristin) Reist; her stepchildren, Ed (Roy Yoshimatsu) Young and Kathy (Steve) Duckworth; her son-in-law, Rick Wertz; her daughter-in-law, Kathy Booher; her step-grandchildren, Joe Duckworth, Aaron (Stacey) Duckworth; and 16 beloved great-grandchildren.

The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to the exceptional nursing staff and caregivers at StoryPoint West Chester and Queen City Hospice, who lovingly tended to Juanita’s needs and truly treated her as one of their own.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Visitation will be held on Monday, April 13, 2026 from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, with funeral service starting at 11:00 AM at Brown Dawson Flick Funeral Home, 1350 Millville Avenue, Hamilton, Ohio 45013. Burial will follow at Greenwood Cemetery.

James "Amos" Street

James “Amos” Street, age 45, passed away on April 2, 2026. Born on September 5, 1980, Amos was a man who lived life with his sleeves rolled up. He made his living working in blacktop, concrete, and seal coating.

Amos was the kind of person who truly had a heart for others. If someone was in a spot of trouble, he would do anything he could for anyone. He was a funny guy who could lighten the mood in an instant, but behind the jokes was a deep, sincere love for his family. They were his world, and he was happiest when he was surrounded by them. His presence was a steady one, and the loss of his humor and his helpful spirit leaves a gap that won't easily be filled.

James is survived by his wife and partner of 30 years, Michelle Street (Eversole); his father, Marion “Big M” Street; his siblings, Marvin Lee Street Jr., Daniel Street (Tammy) and Heather Street; his brother-in-law, Michael Eversole; his children, Abbigale Street, James Street Jr., and Jayson Street; and his granddaughter, Invy Hubbard, who was his pride and joy. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews who will miss him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Sandra “Kay” Street; his brother, Nicholas Street; his grandmothers, Lillian Street and Margaret Combs; his grandfather, Lem Street; his father-in-law, Richard “Buggz” Eversole; and his mother-in-law, Parka Diane Kelly-Eversole.

Visitation will be held on Friday, April 10, 2026 at Brown Dawson Flick Funeral Home, 1350 Millville Avenue, Hamilton, Ohio 45013 from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. Funeral service will be held at 2:00 PM with Pastor Larry Davis officiating.
