Patricia Pettinato, age 67 of Fort Lauderdale, passed away on Thursday, January 16, 2020 in Catholic Hospice at Holy Cross Hospital. At the time of her passing she was in the hearts and minds of those she loved the most.

Patricia was preceded in death by her loving husband, the late Raymond (Ray) Abruzzese and her parents Joan and Peter Pettinato.
She is survived by her beloved son Joseph of Ft Lauderdale, her sister Barbara of Pennsylvania and a vast amount of loving Italian cousins in addition to her most treasured friends in Ft Lauderdale and Pennsylvania.
