A daughter of the late J. William and Louise Belaney, Pat grew up in a home filled with music.
She received a Bachelor's degree from Kent State University and a Masters from Case Western. Early in her career, she taught music at East Palestine, Mentor and Mayfield school districts, and later became an elementary school principal for Copley and Fairlawn City schools. She remained a proud alumnus and financial supporter of her alma mater, East Liverpool High School.
An active member of Montrose Zion United Methodist Church in Bath, Ohio, Pat developed the bell choir program there, and also directed the bell choirs at Prince of Peace Evangelical Lutheran Church in Medina and at Faith Lutheran Church in Akron. Pat completed a fellowship of United Methodists in Music and the Worship Arts, and was a past member of the American Guild of organists, and was a longtime church organist and pianist.
She served on church boards on the local, district and conference levels, and loved traveling within the U.S. and abroad. An active member of the Pilot Club and the Women's City Club in Akron, Pat was a regular at the Blossom Music Festival. She enjoyed the company of her Friends Friday Night Dinner Group.
Her brother, William L. Belaney, survives in Naples, Fla. with his wife, Marge. Also surviving are a special niece and nephew: Susan Belaney of Madison Heights, Mich., and Curtis Belaney of Rochester Hills, Mich.
