Patricia Mary Gregg age 71, of Mendenhall, PA died peacefully Tuesday, November 24 2009 at St. Francis Hospital in Wilmington, DE.

The daughter of Edwin and Mary Touhey of Yorklyn, Patricia attended St Patrick's School in Kennett Square. She graduated from St. Agnes in West Chester before earning a B.A. in Biology from Immaculata College in Malvern in 1960.

Mrs. Gregg worked briefly at The New Bolton Center after
college and most recently exploited her passions and talents as a botanical artist. Her work was shown both locally and nationally. A frequent contributor to the Philadelphia Flower Show in the last decade and a half and a member of the American Society of Botanical Artists, Patricia was awarded a Blue Ribbon for her work at the Maryland Orchid Show in 2005.

Always quick with a smile and as active as her health allowed, Mrs. Gregg was engaged often with her book club, a member of the National Society of Pen Women and an active member of the Philadelphia Society of Botanical Artists where she pursued her craft relentlessly.

She was the loving wife of Donald R. Gregg for 49 years and the devoted mother of three children, Martha, Stephen and Alan as well as the beloved grandmother of 8: Alison, Amy and David Fisher Sikorsky, Jeffery, Elizabeth and Emily Gregg and Eva Marie and John Gregg.
