Patricia Antonelli, 66, was born on January 20, 1960, in New York, New York, the daughter of Mary and James Lotti. She was raised in Midland Beach, New York, and died on September 22, 2026. Patricia resided in Toms River, New Jersey.
With steady dedication, Patricia was formerly employed for over 25 years with Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus in Lakewood, New Jersey. Her life reflected a strength and a compassion that showed itself in the way she cared for others. She had a gift for lifting those around her—often with a well-timed sense of humor that brought comfort and lightness when it was needed most.
Patricia found joy in the simple, meaningful moments that make a life rich. She enjoyed attending the races at the New Egypt Speedway along with her friends and family, where she was known as Mom-Bomb. She loved spending time with her grandchildren, and she also enjoyed spending time at the beach in Ocean Gate, New Jersey—places and people that brought her laughter, exciting adventures and of course cocktails.
Patricia is survived by her son, Dominick Antonelli (Christine); her daughter, Brittany Kelly (Matthew); her sister, Susan Curatolo; and her grandsons, Jensen Kelly, Zeke Castrovinci, and Dominick Antonelli. Patricia is also survived by a dear niece Kristina Curatolo, as well as several other dear nieces and nephews.
