PATRICIA ANN (ROBINSON) LOUGHRAN Patricia Ann Robinson Loughran was an amazing woman. She wanted to be remembered as being kind, and she accomplished that and much more.

She was born May 27, 1933 in Swissvale, PA and died February 4, 2020 at Redstone Highlands in Murrysville, PA. She graduated from Swissvale High School in 1951 and from Seton Hill College (University) in 1955. She married her childhood sweetheart, Thomas H. Loughran, in 1956 and in the course of their 60-year marriage they created a family that is sustained by love, laughter, and faith. Thomas Loughran died in 2017. She also was preceded in death by her parents, Ralph and Barbara (Gorham) Robinson, as well as siblings, Ralph, Harry, Richard, Billy Robinson, and Mary Louise (Robinson) McCutchen. She is survived by daughters, Kathryn (Greg) Cala, Ann (Dennis) Cutrell, Bernadette (Mike) Cala, Mary Jo (Maxine) Loughran, Sharon (Ed) Brown, Sheila (Ed) Burgard, and Jenifer (Stu) Selzer. Patricia's lifelong spiritual home was the Roman Catholic Church and she was actively involved in service in every parish to which she belonged including North American Martyrs (Monroeville), Our Mother of Sorrows (Johnstown), and Holy Trinity (Ligonier). Patricia also served others through her work. While raising her family and teaching, she pursued two graduate degrees in counseling and pastoral ministry. She served as the Director of Financial Aid at St. Francis University and ended her career as a pastoral associate. She was called to meet the spiritual needs of the bereaved, especially those who had lost a child.
