Patricia Ann Tyler (Patti), 61, passed away at Salina Regional Health Center on 3/28/2022.

Patti passed away in the ICU surrounded by her loving family. She was a loving, beautiful, and kind soul. She would also be a little spitfire at times, when she needed to be. Patti was not afraid to call it like she saw it.

Patti was forced to retire approximately 5 yrs. ago due to health conditions. Her last job was working for 1st Choice Security, she loved that job and adored her coworkers, especially Jason, AV, and many others. Patti had many friends at Salina Regional Health Center, and it seemed as if “everyone” knew who Patti was. She didn’t care what position you worked in or what title you held; she spoke to everyone. She worked many jobs in her lifetime and was never afraid of hard work.

Patti spent many hours sitting with her mother, Mary. drinking coffee and watching “The First 48.” She loved true crime shows and was always watching when she could. She would bring her faithful companion, “Oreo Cookie,” everywhere she went.

She loved her family more than anything and spent every holiday with her family. She fiercely loved her nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews and ALL her aunts, uncles, and cousins. Patti was a beautiful soul.

Left to mourn her passing are her mother, Mary Vargas; brothers, Mike Davis of Delaware; Jimmy Davis; and Leroy Vargas. Sisters Maria Koury of Philadelphia; Rachel Rock; and Amy Vargas-Wilson.

Patti is preceded in death by her father Leroy Vargas, brother John Vargas, sister, Laura Cannon and brother-in-law Kevin Wilson.

We would like to thank Dr. Casey McNeil, Dr. Tilton, Dr. Downen, Dr. Bahr, ICU nurses Candace, Kelly, Sara, Winston, Jacob, Courtney, Matt, and all other ICU staff. Your kindness, caring and love were greatly appreciated.
