Portland, OR, July 28, 2026 —
Patricia Deacy, a 60-year-old resident of Omaha, Nebraska, is facing accusations of stealing approximately $875,000 from her father. The allegations stem from her role as the holder of her father’s power of attorney.
Investigators have detailed that Deacy’s father, who currently resides in a memory care facility, was allegedly pressured into granting his daughter power of attorney in 2023. Following this, a significant financial shift allegedly occurred.
According to the findings of the investigation, Deacy’s personal financial situation saw a dramatic improvement shortly after she retired. Evidence suggests that large sums of money were transferred through payment platforms such as Venmo and PayPal. These funds were reportedly used to finance substantial personal expenditures, including extensive home improvements, the purchase of vehicles, and various other personal expenses.
The investigation further indicates that these expenditures were not related to the direct care or needs of her father. The alleged misappropriation of funds is currently under investigation.
