Patricia Marilyn Ferraro

Paddie Ferraro (née Faust) was born October 26, 1951 in Sudbury, Ontario to Robert and Margaret Faust. She was predeceased by her loving husband, Andy. Paddie is survived by her two brothers, Rod (Cathy) and Rob (Lisa), her children, Caliah McLaren (Robert), Craig Stanley (Kim), former husband, Dick Stanley and stepson Daron Ferraro (Tash). Stepdaughters Ang Ferraro, Lisa Ferraro. Her grandchildren Daylon Stanley, Dawsen Stanley, and step-grandchildren Lauren Larson, Bruce Larson, Michael Larson and Mireya Ferraro.

Paddie spent her early years in Creston and later Cranbrook, BC. She enjoyed figure skating and was a proud member of the Cranbrook Bugle Band as well as an enthusiastic ballplayer. When Paddie participated in something she did it with her whole heart.

Paddie worked for B.C. Hydro as an administrative assistant in Vernon, BC, as well as a contract computer educator for Okanagan University and later in Kelowna where she shared her talents creating websites, spreadsheets, beautiful slideshows and helping others with any and all technology-related issues.

Paddie was a valued member of any community she joined, working tirelessly to organize functions and gather people together. She was a treasured member of the Meadowbrook community where she was instrumental in planning events for the community to come together. She made many good friends there; people were drawn to her caring, inclusive and sparkling personality.

She was endlessly kind, caring and loving with a wonderful sense of humour and an infectious laugh. Paddie brought joy to those who knew her and, above all, she loved her family. She will remain in our hearts forever.

Friends and family are invited to join us in celebrating Paddie’s life for an open house Sunday, Nov 23, 2025, from 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm at the Meadowbrook clubhouse in Kelowna, BC.
