Patricia Ann Miville, 87, passed away peacefully on March 24, 2026, at Larksfield Place with her two children where she had been a resident for 11 years.

Pat was born on December 17, 1938, in Brooklyn, New York and was raised in Wichita. Pat’s faith was always very important to her throughout her life. She particularly loved playing bridge and was in numerous bridge clubs. Pat was also a member of WSU’s Tri Delta Sorority and stayed involved with the sorority through the years. She was also involved in other various social groups throughout Wichita and enjoyed many long-time friends throughout her life.

After attending Wichita’s North High School, Pat attended WSU where she later earned a master’s degree in both education and counseling.  After college, Pat and her best friend, Judy, wanted to explore the world and together they moved to San Franscisco where she took her first job as a teacher. Later she met her husband-to-be, Michael Malone who joined the Air Force and became a Judge Advocate General. This took them to various Air Force bases. After the Air Force they moved to Longmont Colorado to be with friends. Mike worked in a law firm in Longmont.  During this time, she was a stay-at-home mom with two children. After her husband passed, Pat moved back to Wichita with her children. She accepted a position at Pizza Hut, Inc. eventually working into the position of Director of Training until Pizza Hut’s headquarters moved. At that time, she took a position as Director of Training at Big Cheese Pizza.

In year’s following, Pat married Al Miville, and they were married 37 years. Her final career move was back to the classroom where she worked as a teacher and counselor for Maize USD until she retired. During those retirement years, Pat enjoyed socializing with her many friends, grandchildren time, attending bible studies and playing lots of bridge games.

Pat was preceded in death by her parents Gabrielle and Lewis Reagan, both husbands and sisters Martha Lewis and Linda Reagan. She is survived by her two children, daughter Julie (Jeff) Shrewsbury, Wichita and son David Malone, Pueblo, CO, her brother, Charles (Sharon) Reagan of Marietta, OH and sister Kelly (Clark) Hay of Overland Park, KS. Pat has 9 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews who she loved so much.

The memorial service will be held Thursday, April 9 at 11:00 a.m. at Downing & Lahey East Chapel. A private burial will be planned at a later date.

The family would like to especially thank the nurses and staff at Larksfield Place for their loving care of Pat for the past eleven years.

Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. … You can shed tears that she is gone Or you can smile because she has lived You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her Or you can be full of the love that you shared “She Is Gone” by David Harkins

  2. Throughout her life, she devoted herself to helping others — family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers. Her gentle presence, generous heart, and unwavering kindness shaped the lives around her in ways that will never be forgotten.

  3. Deepest sympathy to the family of my friend Pat. Her love of life, and her joyful presence were a huge inspiration to me. I had known her from church, then was delighted when she became my supervising teacher as I student taught middle school in Maize, and from there became a “Friday Friend” followed by many years of shared gatherings. Her optimism and sense of humor were a joy, her faith was encouraging and uplifting. She is resting in the everlasting arms.

  4. Dear Julie & Family,
    Pat was really the first soul sister I had. We shared everything. We met 71 years ago at Kansas Girls State. It was the beginning of a lifetime of adventures. High school basketball games, college visits, camping in CO, visits every where we lived, attending Christian conferences & eventually married to two Sigma Chi’s and seeing each other every time we drove back to Kansas from Longmont.
    Pat was truly a gift from God in the friendship we shared. Lou and I too, look forward to seeing her again due to the love of Christ.
    With our love and prayers,
    Peggy & Lou
