Patricia A. Ansert

Patricia A. Ansert, born March 5, 1942, passed away on November 12, 2026.

Patricia was a graduate of Valley High School and carried through life a wide range of interests that reflected her energy, warmth, and love of family. She groomed, showed, and raised dogs, and also raised birds. She enjoyed planting flowers in her garden and found pleasure in reading. In her younger years, she enjoyed bowling and was part of a league, and she also loved camping, boating, horseback riding, concerts, and music. She especially enjoyed going to Florida and spending time at the beach. One of her greatest joys was watching her children and grandchildren participate in sports and extracurricular activities.

She is survived by her sons, Francis Medley and his wife Melody, and Kevin Medley and his wife Stacy; her daughter, Melissa Smith and her husband Louis; and her brother, Dennis DeSpain. She also leaves behind her grandchildren, Kyle, Keith (Ashley), Clay, and Trent, and her great-grandchildren, Lainey, Kaleb, Malcolm, Amaya, and Jordan, five great-great grandchildren and a host of extended family and friends. Their lives stand as part of her lasting legacy, and her love and encouragement will be remembered by all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Anna Margaret Fischer; her father, Alvin Fischer; her grandson, Aaron McDowell; and her niece, Cheryl Manthei. Their memories remained part of the story of her life and family.

Visitation will be held on November 23, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Newcomer Funeral Home, Southwest Louisville, 10304 Dixie Hwy, Louisville, Kentucky 40272. A memorial service will follow at 1:00 p.m. at the same location.

Patricia will be remembered with love for the many simple and meaningful ways she filled her life: caring for animals, tending her flowers, enjoying music and travel, and most of all, being present for the people she loved. Her memory will remain a blessing to her family and friends.
