Patricia Ann Fazio

Patricia graduated from Uniondale High School in 1958. It was through mutual family members that she met the love of her life, Anthony J. Fazio. Their relationship began through letters, as they became pen pals while Anthony was serving in the United States military. Following his honorable discharge, the two were married on January 11, 1964, beginning a beautiful life together that would span more than six decades.

Together, Patricia and Anthony raised their two children on Long Island, New York. Patricia was an extraordinary homemaker whose greatest joy and purpose in life was her family. She devoted herself wholeheartedly to creating a loving home, always putting the needs and happiness of those she loved above her own.

In 1987, Patricia and Anthony made Palm Coast, Florida, their home. When their only granddaughter Merisa Riley, was born, Patricia was determined that she would be cared for by family rather than placed in daycare. She lovingly helped raise her granddaughter, creating a special bond and memories that will be treasured forever.

Before dementia gradually took its toll, Patricia enjoyed all the simple pleasures that made life special. She loved preparing traditional Italian dishes for her family, crocheting, and getting lost in the pages of Danielle Steel novels. She especially enjoyed shopping trips with her daughter, a glass of Chardonnay, and, of course, indulging her sweet tooth with chocolate. Above all, she cherished the time spent with her family, who were always the center of her world.

Patricia was preceded in death by her parents; her sister, Carol Caramanica; and her beloved husband of 61 years, Anthony J. Fazio, who passed away just 13 months ago. Their love story, which began with letters so many years ago, is now reunited.

Left to cherish her memory are her daughter, Michele (John) Thompson of Palm Coast; her son, Michael (Deanna) Fazio of Waynesville, North Carolina; and her adored granddaughter, Merisa Riley Thompson.

Patricia will be remembered for her unwavering devotion to her family, the love she poured into her home, and the countless ways she made those closest to her feel cherished. Though she is deeply missed, the love she gave and the memories she created will remain in the hearts of her family forever.
