She is deeply loved and will be greatly missed by her siblings, Jacqueline (Michael) McCormick, Prudence Dreyer, Debra (Brad) Belden and Maureen (Loren) Driscoll.

Patricia loved God and the Catholic Church.  She taught first grade at St. Alfred’s Parish in Taylor and at St. Mary’s of Wayne.  She always liked teaching first grade.

She was a wonderful cook and loved entertaining, especially at Christmastime. 

She loved everything to be beautiful and always wanted everything “to be nice” as she used to say. Her home was always beautifully decorated and her gardens were magnificent.

She loved her family, babies, little children, her friends, and desserts (especially chocolate). 

Patricia was a fashionista before it was even popular. She enjoyed shopping for clothing and coordinated each outfit to the smallest detail.  

Patricia was loved by family and friends who are all grateful to have had her in their life.
