Patricia L. Naime (nee Connor), 88, of Overland Park, KS, died peacefully surrounded by family on January 17, 2017. Patricia (Patsy) was born on April 5, 1928 in Kansas City, Missouri to Gertrude and Bernard Connor. She was the second of four children and is survived by her brother Richard (Dick) Connor (Kathleen) and was preceded in death by her sister Margery Connor (Sister Carolyn Bernard C.S.J.), and Brian (Bunky) Connor (Maria). She

attended Loretto Academy in Kansas City and graduated with a Bachelor of Science from St. Mary’s College in Leavenworth. She then received a Master’s Degree in Social Work from St. Louis University. Patsy’s desire to help those less fortunate led her to work at General Hospital in Kansas City using her 
skills as a social worker. While at General, she met Dr. Mansour Naime, a

handsome young pediatrician, who pursued her relentlessly until she finally gave in and agreed to date him. They married on August 17, 1957 and celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary in August 2016. 

Patsy was a kind and giving person and gave her most precious gift, time, to Cure` of Ars Church and the Ladies of Charity. She enjoyed traveling, golf, playing bridge, and reading. Patsy loved spending winters at their second home in Naples, Florida where she volunteered as a reading tutor to underprivileged children. She was the “Queen of Hospitality” who hosted regular and weekly dinners for her large and extended family and friends. She was known for her Sunday night dinners and famous for her apple and strawberry pies. We miss her already. Patsy was a loving wife and mother and is survived by Dr. Mansour Naime and three children; Patrick Naime (Janet), Overland Park, KS; Michael Naime (Elizabeth), Colorado Springs, CO; and Mary Patricia (Molly) Dye (Gary), Overland Park, KS; and four grandchildren Lisa Naime, Scott Naime, Kendra Gonzalez, Matthew Dye, and one great-grandchild Isabelle Gonzalez and many nieces and nephews.
