Patricia Leigh Shostak, April 24, 2026, formerly of Kansas City

Loving mother of Skylar Brennan, Riley Brennan, and Gillian Brennan. Dear sister of Leslie (Bruce) Cohen, Elliott (Rebecca) Shostak, and Grant (Stacey) Shostak. Beloved daughter of Arleen and the late Burton Shostak. Dear aunt, great aunt, cousin, and friend.

Pattie followed in her father’s footsteps by pursuing a career in law, bringing the same steadiness, discernment, and quiet strength that defined her life. Beyond her profession, she found joy in the beauty of everyday living. She loved being outdoors, soaking in fresh air and sunshine, and had a natural gift for interior decorating—creating spaces that felt warm, thoughtful, and distinctly her.

She was deeply devoted to her friends and family, showing up with consistency, care, and an open heart. During the holidays, she carried on her beloved tradition of hosting her annual cookie party, filling her home with laughter and a true sense of togetherness. As the family’s cherished baker, her recipes—and the memories made alongside them—will be passed down with love for generations.
