Patricia L. Piper

On Friday, November 6, 2026, Patricia (Hughes) Piper passed onto eternal life.

Born April 12, 1948, the youngest of three daughters to Joseph and Ruth (Templeton) Hughes, Patricia was a 1966 Brookfield High School graduate.

She was employed by Carine and Co., Sharon, Pennsylvania, as a receptionist until 1978. During the 1980’s, she worked at Savoldi Cheese Co., West Middlesex, Pennsylvania, processing accounts receivable. Additionally, she was the co-owner and operator of the Seldom Inn, Tionesta, Pennsylvania, during the 1990’s. She then moved to Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania, in the mid 90’s, and was employed by Andover Industries until they closed in 2006. Lastly, she worked a short time for Career Link, Meadville, Pennsylvania, before officially retiring.

She was affectionately known by her family and friends as “Patti”, and by her grandchildren as “Patticake”. Her favorite pastime was to entertain, cook a meal, and have get-togethers. Her signature dessert was her famous delicious apple pie. She loved her family deeply and treated their closest friends as her family too.

A proud mother and grandmother, she loved watching her grandchildren, Aeryn and Greyson, play sports and did her best not to miss any of their competitions.

Patricia is survived by her partner of 31 years, Dan Bailey; children, Todd (Mindy) Piper, and Brandy (Tim) Berena, both of Brookfield, Ohio; grandchildren, Aeryn and Greyson Berena; sister, Donna Fecik, of Fort Myers, Florida; many nieces, nephews, and great ones too; as well as her bonus family, son, Daniel (Sherry) Bailey; daughter, Janette (Jim) Auchter; grandchildren, Levi (Chelsea) Bailey, Luke Bailey, Kyle Auchter, and Kara Auchter; great-grandchildren, Eli Bailey and Casien Auchter.

She was preceded in death by her parents; sister, Janet (Jan) Musoni; niece and Godchild, Dawn (Fecik) Babcock; and beloved brother-in-law, Andrew Fecik.

A Celebration of Life luncheon will be held on Saturday, December 5, 2026, at 1:00 PM, at the Brookfield Fire Hall, located at 774 State Route 7, NE, Brookfield, Ohio 44403.
