Sister Mary Patricia Gaughan, retired administrator and one of the founders of the St. Anne Home in Greensburg, Westmoreland County, died of congestive heart failure Sunday at the Felician Sisters Convent in Moon.

Sister Patricia Gaughan, 76, a Pittsburgh native, was known as Ursula Gaughan before she entered the Felician Sisters in 1929 in East McKeesport. She was a registered nurse who worked at several hospitals in Pittsburgh and Oklahoma until 1962, when she helped found the St. Anne Home for the elderly and infirm.

She was the home's first administrator and served there until her retirement to the convent in 1987.

Sister Patricia served as the Greensburg Diocese representative to the Committee on Aging of the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference, was a member of the advisory council of the Health Systems Agency of Southwestern Pennsylvania and was a member of the executive committee of the Pennsylvania Conference of Catholic Health-care Facilities.

She is survived by two brothers, Bishop Norbert F. Gaughan of Gary, Ind., and William Gaughan of Pittsburgh.

Friends will be received from noon until 9 p.m. today and from noon until the funeral at 4 p.m. tomorrow at the Provincial House, 1500 Woodcrest Ave., Moon.

The funeral will be held in the convent chapel, followed by burial in the Felician Cemetery.
