Patricia Lynne Isola

Patricia Lynne Isola, left us peacefully at home in Anadale on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, at the age of 77. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend whose warmth, creativity, and spirit will be remembered fondly by all who knew her.

Born and raised in New Dorp, Patricia graduated from New Dorp High School in 1964, where she began to lay the foundation for a life full of love, dedication, and artistic expression. After high school, Patricia worked at Chase Bank in Manhattan before embracing her most cherished role as a mother and homemaker starting in 1972.

In 1976, Patricia and her late husband Eugene Isola settled in Annadale, where they built a life filled with joy and community. Patricia’s creative spirit flourished as she began working part-time at Shades of the Past stained glass studio, where she crafted exquisite stained glass pieces, including lamps and windows, that will be treasured by those who were touched by her artistry.

In 1993, Patricia began a new chapter as a secretary at St. John’s University on the Staten Island campus, a role she held with dedication and grace until her retirement in 2011. Her retirement allowed her the time to enjoy traveling with Eugene, spending cherished moments with her children and grandchildren, and pursuing her passions for gardening, cooking, and participating in her beloved book club.

Patricia was the widow of Eugene Isola and is survived by her sister, Joan Pinto, and her three children: Tracy Bickerton and her husband Thomas, Kimberly Loize and her husband Jean Pierre, and Amy Isola. She was the proud grandmother of six: Michael, Brielle, Jake, Sadie, Riley, and Reese, who brought her immeasurable joy and pride.

Patricia was preceded in death by her husband Eugene, her parents Edward Jr. and Dorothy Helt, and her sister Doris Ferrante.

Friends and family are invited to celebrate Patricia’s life and legacy at a visitation on Sunday, July 14th, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM at Casey McCallum Rice South Shore Funeral Home, 30 Nelson Avenue, Staten Island, NY. A funeral service will be held in her honor on Monday, July 15th, at 11:00 AM at New Dorp Moravian Church, 2205 Richmond Road, Staten Island, NY.

Patricia Lynne Isola’s memory will live on through the love she shared and the lives she touched. She will be dearly missed and forever cherished in our hearts. Her legacy of kindness, humor, and love will continue to inspire those who knew her.
