Patricia Elizabeth O'Toole Basciano 4/22/1938-02/20/202. Patricia was a Daughter, Sister, Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandma and Friend all in one big package. She was a survivor and wore her battle scars with pride and hid the pain of them with laughter and that infectious smile. When Patricia admired your shoes, you were about to be inducted into her life story and probably go home with something from her garage that you never knew you always wanted~ like a waterbed! Most everyone here knew that first hand I am sure! ......She was born to Parents Charles and Viola O'Toole on April 22, 1938, in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn NY. She was Big Sister to her Only Brother "Barry" Who like her parents preceded her in death. She was a wife to her best friend Dominick who passed on before her in 2012 after 55 years of marriage and in that time they had 4 girls Sandy, Terri, Linda and Toni Anne. All of which married wonderful Men Sons in law - Eddie, Willi, George and Emil. She was blessed with many grandchildren - Dominick, Anthony, Laura (TJ) Jennifer, Sara (Ricky), Edward and William and Great Grandchildren - Trinity, Dominick, Cole & Noah, Mathew, Lily and Ricky. Patricia had many nieces and nephews and she cherished the loving relationship she had with each and every one of them. Last but not least her son and daughter “by choice” Anthony and Jane, she loved them both as if they were her own along with their children who were a big part of her life. Patricia was all these things but she was also a friend and she was the best there was to all. I am sure there are a million stories that all of us could share and I hope we do for years to come, keeping us all together through the rest of our lives as we know she would have wanted it to be. We celebrate a really awesome lady but mourn the loss of her influence, her heart, her smile and her love, it was unconditional and it was endless, often misunderstood but always constant and genuine. She will never be forgotten it's just not possible. She believed that there is a life after death. She has gone home to the Lord and is with her one and only love Dominick along with the many angels to greet her at the gates of Heaven, to welcome her just as she will be there to welcome us all home someday.
