Patricia Ann (Beall) Daniels of Sheffield, IL, passed away at the early age of 66 after a short and unfair battle with cancer on Friday, May 1, 2026. Born September 17, 1959, daughter of Raymond and Janice (Derick) Beall. She was preceded in death by her parents.

Pat is survived by three children and two bonus children, Jason (Terilyn) Motley, Monica (Russ) Ensley, and Brooke (Kyle) Schneider all of Kewanee, Nathan (Tiffany) Daniels of Jacksonville, NC, and Morgan (Sean) Terry of Kewanee; sister, Sam DeValkenaere of Bradford; grandchildren, Emma, Brady, Carter, Axel, Kyle, and baby Beau is on the way; bonus grandchildren, Wyat, Hannah, Caitlyn, Chloe, Camryn, Calissa, and Cohen; and niece, Sharon (Autry) Cauthon. She is also survived by her companion, Mark DeVenney of Sheffield.

Pat was born and raised in Bradford, IL, and attended Bradford High School. She worked as a CNA for many years when she was younger and absolutely loved that profession and her residents. She would often times bring one of them home for dinner. Pat later started working for the Kewanee School District in the kitchen of Lyle, Central, and later Kewanee High School, retiring in 2022.

In her later years, Pat moved out to the country, living with Mark DeVenney. She enjoyed the country life—gardening and going on motorcycle rides. She loved to sew and read books. Pat enjoyed gathering with family and her loving friends. She was a giving person and would give you her last dollar if needed but was also spunky and could make a smartass comment at any given moment. Pat loved her family with her whole heart and would often say, “I love you more than you know”—We will miss her “more than you know”.

A Celebration of Pat’s Life will be held at the Flemish American Club in Kewanee at 11:00 am on June 20, 2026. Golnick-Schueneman Funeral Home in Kewanee is assisting with arrangements. Memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or the American Cancer Society. Condolences may be left for Pat’s family on her tribute wall at www.golnickhaskellfh.com.
