Patricia retired from Packard Electric in 2007.
She enjoyed playing cards with her family and friends, traveling, crafts and refurbishing old furniture she obtained from estate sales. Most of all, she enjoyed being a grandmother.

(Sheila) Smolinsky of Brookfield, Joseph Smolinsky of Howland, JoAnn Smolinsky of Hartford and Dianne Johnson of Cuyahoga Falls; two grandchildren, Brooke and Benjamin Sprockett; many loving nieces and nephews; and by a host of friends.

Burial will take place at a later date in Pineview Memorial Park in Warren.
The family would like to thank Dr. Amy Awaida and the staff at the Hope Cancer Center for all of the care and comfort that they gave to Patricia during her illness.
