Patricia Ann Mullen Storm
September 17, 1946 ~ May 1, 2023
Born in:
Rapid City, SD
Resided in:
Owensboro, KY
Patricia Ann Mullen Storm, of Owensboro, Kentucky passed away on May 1, 2023, under the care of Hospice of Western Kentucky. Please help the Storm family celebrate the beautiful and wonderful life of Patricia.
Patricia was born to the late James Mullen and Frances Arnold Mullen on September 17, 1946, in Rapid City, South Dakota. She has a surviving sibling, Shawn Mullen, and his wife Peggy; and was preceded in death by her siblings: Mary Katharine Kreischer, Maureen Hansen, Colleen Mullen, Clancy Mullen, and James Michael Mullen, all gone too soon. Preceded as well by her beloved daughter-in-law, Lisa Storm. A graduate with a bachelor’s in accounting, she met her husband, life partner, and best friend, Wilford Leo Storm (Wil), while residing in Rapid City, South Dakota; and if asked would say that is when her life truly began. Upon his leaving the air force, they moved back to his hometown of Owensboro, Kentucky, where they both began to deeply embed themselves in the community.
Over the years, Pat (as her friends and family know her) became a loving mother to a hectic but fun brood of children: Tamara (Tammy), James Michael (Mike) and wife Beth, Shawn and wife Stephanie, Maureen, and husband Ray, Nicholas (Nick) and wife Shannon. She is a grandmother of fourteen grandchildren.
She and Wil became adamant supporters and leaders in Marriage Encounter, to help ensure other couples could and would be strong partners and support for one another, as they strove to be. A strong tenant of their belief is that the marriage comes first with God and Jesus at the center of that relationship, everything else flowed from that union, and there is nothing they cannot overcome. Together, they also became heavily involved in Habitat for Humanity, and over time, they helped organize tax services for those unable to complete them. She and Wil have been avid blood donors for years. You cannot tell or hear the story of Pat without discussing her husband, her children, her many friends and family; nor would she want you to do so. Her passing was due to an auto-immune disease only recently diagnosed in the winter of 2022. She lived her last few months surrounded by those she loved; and upon her calling home to heaven, too soon for those left behind, she did so peacefully.
Visitation for Patricia Ann Mullen Storm will be held Friday, May 5, 2023, at Haley McGinnis Funeral Home & Crematory from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm and prayer service from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm. On May 6, 2023, further visitation will be held at St. Pius X Catholic Church starting at 9:30 am, followed by her funeral mass at 11:00 am. If unable to attend, feel free to send notes and prayers of love, stories to share, or in lieu of flowers please make a blood donation, local donations can be made at Western Kentucky Regional Blood Center, in her name.

I can’t hardly believe this is real , I love and will miss you terribly. Prayers for Wil, Mike , Shawn , Nick, Tammy, and Maureen!and her precious Grandkids.
Will, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your sweetheart. To my sorry, I only saw her a couple of times during tax season. She was so determined to continue serving her community in spite of her illness by coming in when she did not feel like it and doing returns at home and in the hospital. She was a special lady and my thoughts and prayers are with you. She will certainly be missed
Mike and Beth, I’m so sorry to hear about this amazing mother! I am praying for you and your family during this difficult time and days ahead.
Love Pam L (Echo)

Sending our deepest condolences, love, and prayers to your family. We are remembering Pat’s loving personality and how much support and joy she gave our family over the last many years. Love, Nettie Noel & Family
We will never forget the impact she and Wil made on us during our marriage encounter weekend over 17 years ago. Pat was such a selfless person and it was a joy to attend mass with her for many many years. Also, as a child, I will never forget the kindness they showed to our family when tragedy struck and my lovely aunt passed away. I’m sorry we were unable to attend the funeral mass, but please know the Storm family has been in our thoughts and prayers.
Prayers with Pat and her beautiful family. Love you guys
Stan and Linda Storm
Nick we are so sorry to hear about you and your family’s loss. Your mother will be missed by ever one that knew her. You have our deepest condolences and Prayers.
Josh Hayden and Family.
I love and remember all the Storms! I’ve known Shawn since the first grade and we have been the best of friends over the years, so I know all his siblings and parents. I got Shawn in lots of trouble thanks to my shenanigans and Pat would scold the both of us, but mostly scold Shawn! I’m sorry I missed the funeral; it would have been great to have seen all the Storms! So sorry for everyone’s loss.
