She met her future husband Robert in the summer of 1967 and got married the following year.

A devoted wife, mother, mother-in-law, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, cousin, Godmother, and friend, her dedication to her family and community will be remembered by all who knew her. A proud hostess, Patty enjoyed cooking during the holidays for family and friends. She always wanted everyone to feel welcomed, included, and special. Known for her love of cooking she liked to try new recipes, especially from Ina Garten and Giada but also stayed with old family recipes including her tomato sauce and pizza dough. She enjoyed yearly family vacations but also couldn’t resist vacations to Atlantic City and Las Vegas with friends.

Patty liked being active and social and was also known as being a hard worker. Aside from being a stay-at-home mom in her early years, Patty started back in the workforce in banking where she stayed for 40 years. At the same time, she was co-owner of LaRosa’s Restaurant, a local staple in the community. She was a rector and Eucharistic minister at St. Ann’s church, was on numerous boards and organizations in the city, and recently, worked at Farrell Funeral Home.
