Patricia grew up in Riverside, IL and attended Nazareth Academy in LaGrange, where she met her husband, John, through friends. Their date night included browsing and buying the Top 10 45s.The happy couple married and raised three daughters. Sunday dinners were always lively with a blend of Irish and Italian extended families. To say the least, there was no lack of food or good times. Pat reentered the workforce and enjoyed a successful career. She also was a wonderful grandma to her four grandkids, whom she treasured. Pat and John truly enjoyed life in Manasota Key, FL sharing many good times with family and friends. She enjoyed the beach, the pool, and riding her bike. Patricia’s kindness and sweet personality will be remembered dearly by her family and friends.
