A dedicated preschool teacher at Good Shepherd School, Paddy had a gift for nurturing young 2's with patience, warmth, humor and joy. Her classroom was a place of laughter, learning, and love — a reflection of the generous heart she brought to every part of her life.

An avid runner, Paddy found strength and solace in the rhythm of the road. Whether training for a destination marathon or a local 5K, she embraced the freedom and clarity that running gave her.

She also had a sweet spot for cake — not just eating it, but sharing it. Birthdays, celebrations, or just an even ordinary day could be made special with her favorite cake and her joyful insistence that we should all "Eat cake for breakfast ."

But above all, Paddy was a devoted mother and proud grandmother. Her family was her greatest joy, and her legacy of love, laughter, and unwavering support lives on in her children and grandchildren.

Margaret "Paddy" London, longtime friend of Robert Schlichtig; devoted mother of Stacy O.
