Patricia Finn Anderson

Patricia Finn Anderson, a well-loved daughter, wife, mother, sister, aunt, cousin, friend, and teacher, was born on October 28, 1939 and reunited with her husband and sons on August 17, 2024. Born in Lima, Ohio, the fourth of nine children of Harold and Eleanor O’Connor Finn, she was called Tish from an early age. Tish was known to be quiet and helpful, always taking care of those in need, both humans and animals. Tish was proud to have been a member of the last graduating class from St. Gerard High School. She earned her teaching credentials after four years at the College of Mount St. Joseph and returned to Lima and taught at St. Gerard grade school. Tish married Jim Anderson in 1962 and they finally settled in Cincinnati where she gave birth to two sons, Jimmy Paul and Joseph. Tish taught at St Jude Catholic School for many years. A loyal Cincinnati Reds and Bengals fan, Tish shared the Finn family devotion to Notre Dame football.

A long-time resident of Delhi, she spent her final years back at the Mount in Bayley Place. Tish’s family would like to express sincere appreciation to Renee, Marie, Gloria and the staff at Bayley Place for the love and care they have given Tish.

Predeceased by her parents, two brothers (Tim and Mike), and her husband and sons, Tish will be missed by six siblings (Maureen Rode, Sheila Reaman, Denny Finn, Nora Moore, Terry Finn, and Colleen Schwartz), a special niece, Marie, and many friends, including Renee DeJaco and Steve Heile. 

Visitation will be Friday, August 23rd at Bayley (Enrichment Center) 990 Bayley Place Drive, Delhi 45233 from 9AM until time of funeral mass at 10:30AM. 

In lieu of flowers please send donations to St. Dominic Church.
