After a successful life of loving God and family, she died on January 5, 2026, at the age of ninety-nine years. Pat and Al had no children, but they were an important part of her sister Maryann’s family.
After West Side High School, she made the doughnuts at Ideal Bakery. Then she threaded wire filament into light bulbs at General Electric. The last half of her work life was spent making settings for rings at Tessler and Weiss, a Jeweler, in Union.
She crocheted blankets that included the school insignia for nieces and nephews when they left for college. Country music, the Yankees, and making lasagna were her passions.
Her constant companion was her little white dog, Suzie.
A strong faith led her through a life well spent.
She is missed by all who knew her.
