Born into a large, close-knit family of nine siblings, Patricia understood early on the profound value of family. She later shared a lifetime of devotion with her husband, the love of her life, and as a mother and grandmother, she became the cornerstone of support for those she held most dear. Her family was her greatest passion, followed closely by a lifelong love for gardening, reading, and quiet reflection.
Whether she was tending to her vibrant flower beds or lost in the pages of a favorite novel, Patricia found peace in the natural world and inspiration in the written world. Just as she nurtured her garden, she cultivated deep kindness and quiet strength in every life she touched.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Thursday, March 26, 2026 at 11:00am at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, Raleigh, followed by burial next to her husband in Quantico National Cemetery, Triangle, VA.
In honor of Patricia's deep love for flowers, floral tributes may be sent to the funeral home no later than Wednesday, March 25.
