Patrice Marie Cavlovich

Patrice Marie Cavlovich, 45 years of age, passed away on Monday, May 13, 2024 at University of Kansas Hospital after a year-long battle with a rare cancer. Patrice was born on January 3, 1979 in Kansas City, Kansas to Mike and Patricia Cavlovich. She was the oldest of 3 children: sister, Victoria, and brother, Chris Cavlovich.

Patrice dedicated her life to her education and work, she studied at the University of Phoenix, and she worked as an accountant for over 10 years. Majority was for non-profit organizations, as well as establishing her own tax business. Despite her own personal achievements, her kids remain her greatest accomplishments in this life.

Patrice spent her days enjoying rides in her 1962 cherry red Impala, and traveling around the world with family and friends. Family was important to her, she was a daughter, sister, grandmother, friend and most importantly, a Mother. She was always thinking of others first (to know her was to love her).

To continue celebrating Patrice, she leaves her children, Marta, Cielo and Mateo Mendez; and her grandson, Jeremiah Reyes. She joins her daughter in Heaven, Angel Mendez.

Patrice was a remarkable woman who touched the lives of many. She was a devoted mother, a pillar of strength, and a source of inspiration to all who knew her. Patrice lived a life marked by love, resilience and strength. Whether through her work, her friendships, or her family, she made a profound impact on those around her. Her support and guidance will be deeply missed.
