18°CA Tribute to Patricia Claire Patton ( 1928 - 2026 )
Patricia Claire Patton passed away peacefully on February 24, 2026, to be reunited with her beloved husband, Tom.
Patricia was a woman of rare spirit who possessed a beautiful gift: the ability to befriend anyone she met. She had an intuitive way of finding that "warm spot" to connect with people, turning strangers into friends and friends into family. While she was the heart of her social circle, her family was her greatest pride.
Her warmth will be carried forward by her loving children: Chris, Penny, and Rob. She was a devoted grandmother to Tim, Kristy, Prani, and Sunita, Caleb, Destiny-Rose Amity and Griffin, a cherished Aunt to Sue. Godmother to Carolyn.
Patricia’s life was defined by the many friendships she nurtured and the genuine kindness she offered the world. Together again with Tom, she leaves behind a legacy of love and connection.
Always with us in our hearts.
