She was born in Evanston, IL as the middle child of three girls. After moving to Florida following her 8th grade year, Patricia graduated from Winter Park High School in 1972.
Together with her former husband John, Patricia raised three children, son Noel, and daughters Jennifer and Gwendolyn. Patricia’s passion for gardening, nature, and butterflies, along with her love for her family, faith, and her two cats,Minnie and Gadget, were the foundations of her life. She was a creative at heart, pouring her natural talent into drawing, poetry, music, cooking, crafts for her children, and so much more.
A graveside funeral will be held at Glenhaven Memorial Gardens in Winter Park at 10 a.m. on Thursday, June 15. All are welcome to attend, and the family requests that guests wear brightly colored clothing, floral patterns, or butterflies, to honor Patricia’s legacy.
