Patricia was born in 1936 in Cambridge, MA, daughter of Patrick and Vera Loftus, sister of Sarah M. (Loftus) Hopkins and the late John M. Loftus. In order to be closer to her children in Florida, she relocated from Boston to Tampa in the late-80’s where she worked until retirement. Patricia was a member of Incarnation Catholic Church in Tampa.
Along with her sister, Patricia is also survived by her loving sons, John, Thomas and Bryan, as well as her cherished grandchildren, Daniel, Christina, Dylan, Jenna, Katherine, Patricia and Lillian. She leaves behind many members of extended family and friends who will miss her dearly.
Throughout her life, Patricia’s unyielding devotion has always been to her sons and her grandchildren. Unwavering, she constantly put the needs of her family above any other concerns. If a model exists for how to be an exceptional parent, surely Patricia demonstrated the finest example.
