Patrice Lillian Wessel (nee Shegda) passed away suddenly July 9, 2020 age 62 years. She is predeceased by her beloved husband Richard S. Wessel. She is survived by her loving children: Michael, Jenna and Jillian, her expectant grandson Ashton, siblings Gloria and George as well as many friends and extended family.
Patrice was spirited, outgoing, kind and resilient. She was a hard working woman who provided for her family after the death of her late husband and often put others before herself. In her leisure, she enjoyed spending time with her children and family, paddle boarding, camping and visiting the New Jersey Shore, especially LBI and Cape May. Patrice made friends everywhere she went with her warmth, intelligence and fun loving nature. She has been a lifelong environmental activist, was well read and often educated those around her on environmental issues, politics and religion or current events. Patrice was also a woman of deep Christian faith, conviction and held a passion for life. She loved to work on DIY projects, thrifting for unique antique pieces. Her vivacious and loving spirit will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
