The Christian community in Brisbane, Queensland, and around the world is mourning the loss of Patsy Cameneti, the beloved wife of Pastor Tony Cameneti and co-leader of Rhema Family Church. Patsy passed away recently, leaving behind a legacy of faith, love, and ministry that has impacted countless lives across nations.

Her passing was confirmed by her husband, Pastor Tony, who shared a heartfelt tribute: “Early this morning, my precious and beautiful wife entered the glory of heaven. She was the most loving, caring, and selfless person I have ever known, and I will miss her so much. To all who stood with us in prayer these last few days, thank you. Your love and support have meant so much. We have lost an incredible gift — a devoted wife, a loving mother, a cherished grandmother, and a faithful servant of Christ. Yet even in our sorrow, we rejoice knowing she has gained the eternal joy of heaven! She is with Jesus and I know she is thrilled!!”

A Life of Ministry and Service
Patsy’s life was defined by her devotion to Christ and her passion for teaching others about the love of God. Alongside her husband, she served as Senior Pastor at Rhema Family Church, Brisbane, and also directed Rhema Bible Training College Australia and Papua New Guinea. Her ministry extended far beyond the pulpit; she was an international speaker who carried a message of simplicity and authenticity, helping believers worldwide to strengthen their personal walk with God.

Colleagues and congregants describe her as someone with a rare gift: the ability to take complex spiritual truths and present them in a way that was easy to understand and apply. Her ministry was not only about words but also about living out faith with genuine kindness, humility, and compassion.

Loved by Family and Community
Beyond her role as a pastor and leader, Patsy was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. Family members and friends have expressed their heartbreak at her passing, remembering her as someone who embodied warmth, generosity, and unconditional love. One tribute read: “This one hurts. Been a mess all morning. My Aunt Patsy was the sweetest person you’d ever meet. No one like her. Til we meet again… Tony Cameneti, Liliana Cameneti Brown, Annalisa Robinson — love you guys.”

Her family was at the center of her life, and those who knew her best say she poured her heart into creating a home filled with love, laughter, and faith.

Her Roots and Global Impact
Originally from Burlington, Colorado, Patsy attended Burlington High School, where she was actively involved in the school chorus before life took her on a journey of faith and service that would ultimately reach across continents. Living in diverse cultures gave her a global perspective, one she used to encourage others to embrace God’s truth no matter their background or setting.

From her home in Brisbane, Queensland, Patsy touched lives worldwide — whether through church services, Bible school leadership, or international ministry trips. She will be remembered not just for her preaching but also for her ability to connect deeply with people on a personal level.

A Legacy of Faith
Patsy’s passing has left an irreplaceable void in her family, church, and the broader Christian community. Yet her life serves as a testimony of unwavering faith, resilience, and dedication to God’s calling. While those closest to her grieve, they also rejoice in the assurance of her eternal home in heaven — a place she often spoke about with hope and anticipation.

The Rhema Family Church community, along with countless believers around the world, now carries forward her legacy, inspired by her message and the example of a life fully committed to Christ.

Patsy Cameneti will be remembered as a devoted wife, a loving mother and grandmother, and a faithful servant whose influence will continue to ripple through generations.
