Patricia Jean Tierney (September 7, 1941—February 18, 2023)

Patti devoted her life to loving and serving her family and her friends. She now joins her beloved husband and best friend, Chris, in heaven. Both of them loved God, their faith, and their children.

Her passing this week leaves us without our mom, grandmother, sister, and friend who we've cherished for the way she lived her life and enriched ours.

From her early years in her hometown of St. Louis to her nearly 50 years in Houston, Patti committed herself to others—as a grade school teacher, as a mentor to many fighting addiction, and as a wife and mother of four boys and seven grandchildren.

She is survived by her sons and their wives, Chris Tierney (Angie), Matt Tierney (Tricia), Pat Tierney (Cindy), and Tom Tierney (Sinead). She took great pride in and dearly loved her grandchildren, Grace, Ella, Chloe, Jack, Will, Declan, and Sean. She provided constant joy and affection to her siblings, Terri Gast (Doug) John Culliton (Cindy), and to Chris' brothers, Tom (Georgine), John (Nancy) and Pat (Sharon), and to all of her niece and nephews who adored "Aunt Patti."

Patti is preceded in death by her husband, Chris, her parents, George and Marge Culliton, and her brother George.

Visitation will be held Thursday, February 23, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm, at Klein Funeral Home (16131 Champion Forest Dr. Spring, TX, 77379). A funeral mass will be held on Friday, February 24, at 2:00 pm at Christ the Good Shepherd Catholic Church (18511 Klein Church Rd., Spring, TX, 77379).
