Patricia was born in Morristown, New Jersey, to the late Harry and Mary Schnatter. She was the heart of our family. She was Milton’s wife, mom to Anastacia and Mihalis, mother-in-law to Todd and Torye, and the best YiaYia in the world to Mary, Brandon, Sophia, and Alexandria.
She was incredibly funny and truly one of a kind. She made friends wherever she went and had a way of making people feel seen, welcomed, and cared for. She was strong in every sense of the word, fiercely protective, and never afraid to speak her mind. Patricia stood up for what she believed in and always defended the people she loved.
She worked hard all her life, but family was always her priority. She showed up for us again and again, in big ways and small ones, holding us together with steady love and unstoppable determination.
Patricia was the kind of person you don’t just remember. You carry her with you, in the way we love, the way we laugh, and the way we hold each other close.
We will miss her more than words can say.
