Patricia L. Demuth, (“Pat”) of St. Louis, Missouri died peacefully on July 14, 2020. Born at home in Bellwood, Nebraska, Pat left Bellwood to pursue an education and career in nursing. While a nurse, Pat obtained her doctorate in nursing and spent many years teaching nursing at St. Louis University until she retired as a Professor Emeritus.
