Patricia Ann Schupp

Born on June 2, 1950, Patricia was born in Jersey City to the late, Joseph and Ethel (nee. Washawanny) Tezinski. She grew up in Colonia, where she graduated high school, and later earned her bachelor’s degree from Kean University. She lived in Atlantic Highlands and Iselin before settling in Sparta in 1994 after marrying her husband, William Schupp.

Patricia devoted her professional life to service and fairness, beginning with her work in the personnel department of Sterling Drugs and Sea Land and culminating in a distinguished career at Panasonic Corporation, where she retired as the Director of Equal Employment Opportunity. She also served as a consultant for the Urban League of Newark. Her work reflected a steady commitment to principle and responsibility, carried out with professionalism and care.

Outside of work, Patricia found joy in the places and pastimes that brought people together. She was a longtime member of the Lake Mohawk Golf Club Women’s Association, and she especially enjoyed time at the Jersey Shore. Patricia also loved boating and swimming on Lake Mohawk, simple pleasures that matched her appreciation for community, tradition, and the calm of the water.

The beloved wife to William Schupp, Patricia, is also survived by her sister, Dianne Sommers, of Sparta, her niece, Elizabeth Sommers of Newton; her stepson, William J. Schupp, of Chicago, IL and her great-niece, Dorothy Sommers of Sparta.
