Ann Patricia Tomancik

Our mom passed away at home on Friday, May 18th, 28 days after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She was 87 years young. Mom's faith, strength, dignity and sense of humor carried all of us through this last month. She knew she was going to heaven and she was ready. To be absent in the body is to be present in the Lord! (her quote)

Celebration of Her Life services will be held on Monday night, May 21st at Greenoaks Funeral Home with visitation from 6-9:00 pm and recitation of the rosary at 6 pm. They will resume on Tuesday, May 22nd with visitation at St. Jean Vianney Catholic Church at 9 am followed by a mass of Christian burial at 10 am. Burial will be at Greenoaks Memorial Park. Pat would like to thank any and all who crossed her path, especially the last 59 years in Baton Rouge.
