Born on September 5, 1977, to Ruth McDonald and John Ogden, Patricia spent her early years in Miami before attending Archbishop Curley High School. A dedicated student with a drive to succeed, she went on to graduate from Florida International University with a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management.
On March 13, 2005, Patricia married her lifelong love, Jeffrey Schillaci, in Miami Beach. His companionship was one of the greatest blessings of her life, and together, they built a foundation of unconditional love, laughter, and adventure as they traveled the world.
Those who knew Patricia will remember her for her kind heart, adventurous spirit, and the love she gave so freely to those around her. Her memory will forever live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who were fortunate to know and love her.
Patricia is survived by her devoted husband, Jeffrey, her mother, Ruth, her Brothers: Christopher & Richard, her sister-in-law’s: Scarlett & Katy, Niece and Nephews: Christopher, Kody, Anthony, Kaden and Sage and her beloved dog, Buster, as well as a network of friends who will miss her dearly.
In honoring Patricia’s memory, and in lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that contributions be made to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) or Mental Health America.
