Patricia Elizabeth Terreri

Born and raised in Madison, New Jersey, Patricia carried her small-town roots and strong sense of family with her wherever she went. She built a life defined by warmth, laughter, and an unwavering strength that anchored everyone lucky enough to know her.

Patricia had a gift for making ordinary moments feel extraordinary. Whether she was cooking one of her legendary meals, tending to her garden, or hosting family and friends, she could light up a room simply by being in it. Her home was filled with music, love, and laughter — a place where the coffee was always hot, the stories flowed freely, and no one ever left hungry or unloved.

She had a sharp wit and a bright smile that could lift anyone’s spirits. Patricia was the heart of every gathering, the keeper of countless family stories, and the one who made sure laughter echoed through every room. Her strength was quiet but steady — the kind that carried her family through life’s ups and downs with grace, humor, and compassion.

Patricia was predeceased by her loving husband of many years, Norman Terreri, her parents, Alfred and Elizabeth Brown, and her grandson, Robert Cobianchi.

She is survived by her children Alan and Ornella Muench; Elizabeth Lee Cobianchi; Kristen and Dean Curtis; Matthew and Maria Terreri; and Michael Terreri, along with her six beloved grandchildren, who will carry forward her love of laughter, kindness, and tradition.

Her family finds comfort in knowing that Patricia’s light — the same light that could fill a room and warm a heart — will continue to shine brightly through everyone she touched.

A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
