Patricia J. Bennett

Patricia was born on January 28, 1957, at Bassett Hospital in Cooperstown, New York, as were her mother and daughter. She was the daughter of James and Mary Hanna. Patricia graduated from Oneonta High School in 1975 and spent her professional life working in the food service and public service industries, while dedicating countless hours to her family and friends.

Patricia will be remembered for her kind heart, generous spirit, wonderful sense of humor, and unwavering commitment to the people she loved. She especially loved being near the water, enjoying many family vacations at the beach before moving to her home on Goodyear Lake. She took great pleasure in redecorating her own home, as well as helping others transform theirs, and she took great pride in her beautiful flower gardens. Family and friends will always remember Patricia for her ability to have a great time and, most importantly, to make sure everyone around her was having one too.

Above all, family was most important to Patricia. She cherished the time she spent with family and friends, creating countless memories at the lake that will continue to be treasured for generations to come.

Patricia is survived by her husband of 41 years, Jeffrey; her daughter, Danielle; her grandsons, Kamren and Derrek; her sisters, Martha Schebaum and Michelle Steiner and her husband, Danny Steiner; her brother, Michael Hanna; her sister-in-law, Patty Lina and her husband, Joey Lina; her brother-in-law, Gary Bennett; and her nephews, Matthew Schebaum and Jaden Lina and numerous cousins. She is also survived by many dear friends who held a special place in her heart.
