December 29, 2022
Patricia D. “Pat” Jachimowicz, 86, of Manheim and formerly of Shavertown, passed away on Thursday, December 29, 2022. Born in Haverford, she was the daughter of the late Robert and Mable (Myers) Dean.
Pat was a graduate of Haverford High School. She attended the Millersville State Teacher’s College and graduated in 1958 with her Bachelor’s in education. Pat absolutely adored working with children, and spent most of her career as an elementary school teacher in northeastern PA. She always said it was the one job that made her laugh every day. Pat also loved cooking, but especially eating what she cooked, enjoying “every last morsel.” In her leisure, Pat often birdwatched, read books, and watched any sporting event – always cheering on her Yankees and Steelers.
Pat is survived by 4 children: Valerie Jachimowicz (Bruce Amos), Christopher Jachimowicz (Becky), David Jachimowicz (Gina), and Diane Kennedy (Rob); sister Diana Lyon; 5 grandchildren: Brittani, David, Audrey, Jordan, and Brynne; and 3 great-grandchildren, Sienna, Gemma, and Laszlo. She was predeceased by her sister, Marjory Appleby.
Services will be at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made in Pat’s name to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105. To leave an online condolence, visit SnyderFuneralHome.com.

Condolences to the Family

Condolences to Pat’s family….I went to high school with Pat at HHS and have fond memories of our times together, especially as sorority sisters! We reconnected in the past two years and looked forward to meeting up when she moved to Manheim. We are in Honey Brook now. Another classmate saw Pat’s obit last week and brought it to our attention. We are deeply saddened with the news of her passing and that we couldn’t meet as we had hoped. Sandy Jones Koenig

We were roommates for one year. But, we have stayed in touch since 1955. She was a very special person. —-She made me think and she made me laugh. I am so glad she was part of my life. I miss her. My sympathy to all of the family. —-Sandy

I had the pleasure of knowing, and working with Pat for the last 16 years. She was an absolute joy and I will fondly remember all of our conversations and laughter. She had a way about her that made you feel at ease and that you were always a friend. I can easily see why she chose teaching as a career. She was a keen observationist, amd would spot all of the unusual quirks of things. I will truly miss her and my deepest condolences to her family.

I am so so sorry for your loss. I reconnected with Pat last summer at the Subaru car dealership and previously at our church’s bible study. She always made me laugh and I will certainly miss her.
