Patricia Dianne Donaho Scott, 83, passed away peacefully on July 25, 2026, after a two-year battle with cancer. She was born January 16, 1943, in Pensacola, FL, to Mary Angela and Doss Donaho.
A lifelong artist and creator, Patricia worked in a variety of mediums including paint, pen and ink, photography, and sculpture. With characteristic humility, she would call her creations "doodling" or "amateur," though those around her saw the immeasurable talent that she possessed. From landscape and abstract paintings to photos of the life around her to sculpted felt or paper mache creatures she would dress in handmade clothes, she leaves a collection her family and friends will treasure for years to come.
But her greatest loves were the Lord and His Blessed Mother, whom she leaned on almost solely in these last years of her life.
Though a self-described hermit, she built genuine community of Facebook friends, sharing her deep religious and political convictions with a dash of humor and irony.
Patricia is survived by her children, Deirdre Dickerson and her husband Glenn, Andrew Scott, Gregory Scott and his wife Alma; seven grandchildren, Zoe, Isabel, Olivia, Sofia, Lily, Xenia, and Vivienne; step-grandchildren Braylen, Adelaide and Zarina; and great-grandchild Frances Ciarelli. She was preceded in death by her husband, Howard, her parents and her sister, Michele.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on July 30, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. at Regina Caeli Parish (8121 Breen Dr., Houston, TX 77064). Burial will follow at Brookshire Memorial Oaks Cemetery (1699 Sturm Rd, Brookshire, TX 77423). In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Regina Caeli Parish.
