Patricia Mae Loveall, 82, of Goodman, Missouri, passed away peacefully on June 20, 2025. She was born on April 30, 1943, in Stella, Missouri, to Albert and Orva (Allen) Meinke.

Patricia graduated from Lindsey High School in California and later married the love of her life, Joseph A. Loveall, who preceded her in death. A devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, Patricia was known for her unwavering work ethic and her deep love for gardening. She especially enjoyed growing vegetables, and well into her seventies, she was still growing, picking, and canning green beans—always more than enough to send home with grateful family members.

An exceptional cook, Patricia was especially known for her homemade bread, with her pull-apart loaves becoming a family favorite. She was a longtime, faithful member of Sweetwater Baptist Church, where her presence and kindness were deeply appreciated.

Patricia is survived by her son, Joe (Janet) Smith of Goodman, MO; two grandchildren, Trenton (Veronica) Smith and Kaitlin Smith; and one brother, Alan (Ginger) Meinke. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Joseph A. Loveall; and her brother, Michael Meinke.

A Visitation will be held on Thursday, June 26, 2025, from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at Clark Funeral Home Chapel of Memories in Neosho, Missouri. Funeral Services will follow at 10:30 a.m. at the same location. Interment will take place at Hazelgreen Cemetery in Boulder City, Missouri.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of Patricia may be made to Sweetwater Baptist Church, c/o Clark Funeral Home, PO Box 66, Neosho, MO 64850.

Patricia will be remembered for her strength, her generosity, and the loving legacy she leaves behind.
