Patricia Donna Clutter, 81, of Fairchance, passed away from a heart condition Monday, November 9, 2026. She was born February 24, 1945, in Uniontown.
Preceding her in death were her parents, Charles and Josephine Bacha Lehman; niece, Rachael Staviscak; and former husband, John Thorpe.
Patty was a 1963 graduate of Fairchance Georges High School.
She was the principal’s secretary for many years with the Albert Gallatin School District.
She was a talented professional photographer who photographed many weddings and reunions. Beyond that was her love of this area that was shown in her photographs; one of which was displayed at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh.
Patty was also an avid gardener. The flowers surrounding her home were stunning. She had two green thumbs. She loved the outdoors and enjoyed hunting with her son, Tim, brother, Charles, and friends.
Patty was very involved in her community through several social and service clubs. They include the Uniontown Art Club, Uniontown Flower Club, Fairchance Exchange Club, the Christian Women’s Club, Masontown BPW, and the Soroptimists.
Her greatest joy in life, however, was her grandchildren and great- grandchildren. She made many trips through the years to visit them and her son, Tim and his wife in West Virginia.
Left to cherish her memory is her devoted son, Timothy Thorpe and wife Kessa; son, Tod Thorpe; granddaughters, Casey Cottrill (Zachary), Natalie Hoban (Joshua); and great-grandsons, Thatcher and Carder; sisters, Sharlene Lehman and Rose Lehman; brother, Charles Lehman (Cindy); nieces, Jessica Akers, Holly Rucker; and nephew, Joshua Lehman (Lindsey); and special cousin, Nanci Myers.
A celebration of Patty’s life will be held at the Fairchance Exchange Club Saturday, November 14, from 2 to 4:30 p.m. for family and friends.
In lieu of flowers, donations, in memory of Patty, may be made to the Fairchance Exchange Club, 18 Sheldon Avenue, Fairchance, PA 15436.
