Patricia L.

Polston

Patricia L. Polston (nee: Bavry), of Warrenton, MO passed away on Friday, December 29, 2023. She was born on November 27, 1939 in Chicago, IL to the late Lewis and Margaret Bavry (nee: Callahan). Patricia had reached the age of 84 years.

Patricia was the loving mother of 6 children; Patrick, Kevin, Dennis, Kerry, Patricia "Junie", and Carol "Izzie". She loved being a homemaker and raising her children, cooking for her family, and reading a good book.
Patricia, mom, mother, grandma and affectionately known as Granny. A woman who will be remembered for her set values and views and not easily swayed; be it political differences, football teams or personal decisions she stood her ground. Some may see that as stubborn but that truly takes strength. We know she missed going to the casino, camping and fishing but she enjoyed feeding the birds, going for drives, hugs, Sunday dinners and playing Phase 10 (yet hated to lose). It makes us smile thinking how she always prided herself on that big trout she caught and continued to encourage others (especially us girls) to try to beat the record (we all know she was glad we didn't). Spending time with her family is what meant the most to her.
Christmas morning she discussed salvation and being prepared for Heaven with her granddaughter Kristina, after which together they prayed. Later she said "I am so grateful she did that."
So now, as her time here has passed, her pain and discomfort lifted, we say goodbye knowing she peacefully rests in the arms of the Lord. She will be missed by all those who knew her.

Those whom will remain grateful for having shared in Patricia's life are her children; Patrick (LeAnn) Bruno, Kevin (Rhonda) Bruno, Dennis (Debbie) Bruno, Kerry Bruno (fiance' Valerie Sheahen), Patricia "Junie" (Neil) Queathem, and Carol "Izzie" (Kenneth) Kunz; her grandchildren, Andrew (Jolene) Bruno, Ann (Philip) Denight, Danielle (Nelson) Taylor, Cassandra Frankel, Bobby (Cindy) Bruno, Robert (Michelle) Bruno, Kristina (Brandon) Klee, Kellie (Charles) Gilbert, Michael (Lauren) Bruno, Katie Sue Bruno (fiance' Sean Eubanks), Jessica Bruno, Patricia Lynn Queathem (fiance' Josiah Burch), Anthony (Kenedee) Queathem, Daniel (Emily) Queathem, Kristopher Kunz, Emily Kunz (special friend, Nathan Butler); 29 great-grandchildren; and 6 great-great grandchildren; many other relatives and friends. Patricia was preceded in death by her parents, Lewis and Margaret Bavry; and her 2 beloved husbands, Leo Bruno, and Jerry Polston. She was a dear aunt, cousin, and friend to many.
