Others called her Aunt Patty, Trish, Cousin, Mommy, and more. She loved each of us with all of her heart and her soul and will forever be in our hearts.
Pat was born in Cleveland, Ohio and went to Our Lady of Angels grade school and St Joseph’s Academy. After school she was working at her family’s diner and that is where she met her husband… Love at First Bite!!! Pat adored her family and had a strong faith, often volunteering at church functions, and coaching her boys in baseball. She waited till all the kids were grown to start working at St Augustine Academy, in the cafeteria, where she used her skills gained at the family diner to serve the young ladies and keep it fun and interesting for them! Besides family and faith, she loved sports, participating in softball and bowling leagues! Pretty impressive athlete! Pat also loved social events and was quite often the energy behind the fun everyone was having! She taught us how to live life to the fullest and her love for people was infectious! She will be missed but never forgotten.
