Patricia Lynn Oliva

OLIVA, Patricia Lynn - passed away on Christmas evening at 70 years of age and was reunited with her beloved husband, Michael Oliva, who predeceased her. She was a devoted mother to Nicholas (Diana) Gregory (Julia) and Christine, and a proud and adoring grandmother to Jacob, Juliette, Priscilla, and Gio, who brought her immeasurable joy. Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and nothing made her happier than knowing they were safe, loved, and cared for.

She was a cherished sister to Donna and Joanne, a loving aunt, and a loyal friend to many. Patricia had a heart that was always tuned to the needs of others- constantly checking in, making sure everyone was warm enough, healthy enough, and happy. Her instinct to protect, nurture, and worry (always out of love) defined who she was and how deeply she cared. Her legacy lives on in the family she treasured and all the lives she touched with her love.

The family will receive friends on Tuesday, December 30th at James Funeral Home, 540 Broadway, Massapequa Park from 2:00–4:30 PM and 7:00–9:00 PM.

Mass of Christian burial will take place on Wednesday, December 31st at 9:30 AM at St. William the Abbot Church, 2000 Jackson Avenue, Seaford. Interment to follow at Calverton National Cemetery.
