She leaves behind her devoted husband of 47 years, Lee; her loving daughter, Karen (Ty) Fanella; her cherished brothers, Bill and Dan VanLokeren, sisters in law Marlene Glick and Velma VanLokeren and her adored grandsons, Hunter (Lindsy) Fanella, Spencer Fanella and Taylor Klein.
Pat was preceded in death by her parents, Pat and George VanLokeren, her brother Phil VanLokeren, her stepson Barry Glick and her beloved son Todd Klein.
She held a deep affection for the sunshine and warmth of Florida, often finding solace and joy in its beaches and atmosphere. The holiday season held a special place in her heart, as she eagerly awaited the annual tradition of Hallmark Christmas movies, their heartwarming tales bringing her immense delight. She could often be found escaping into the pages of a good book. Reading was her lifelong passion, and she shared that love with those around her.
Above all, Pat treasured the moments spent surrounded by her family and friends, their laughter and companionship filling her life with immeasurable happiness.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Meals on Wheels America in her honor.
A celebration of life will take place in Coral Springs Florida at a later date.
