Patricia A. Patterson, 82, of Lecanto, FL, passed away on January 25, 2023. She was born in NYC on May 10, 1940. Patricia graduated from St. Helen’s High School in the Bronx, NY. She was married to Richard J. Patterson, Sr., on February 27, 1965. Patricia worked for the Department of Education as an Administrative Assistant. She was an active parishioner of St. Scholastica Catholic Church in Lecanto, FL, where she volunteered as a Eucharistic minister. Patricia was an active member of the Irish club and enjoyed traveling, and spending time with her friends; and was often found playing BINGO and bunko with the girls. She was a passionate advocator for supporting individuals with mental illness.
Patricia was survived by her children, Timothy M. Patterson (wife Donna and grandchildren Emily and Matthew), Katherine M. Patterson, and her husband Peter Parides, John E. Patterson, and Richard J. Patterson, Jr.
She will be greatly missed, especially by her children. There is no love as pure, as enduring, and as transcendent as a mother’s love. Those you leave behind in the physical world are comforted knowing you will now be reunited with Dad, the love of your life. We love you. Shine on, Mom.
Services will be held. There is a viewing on Friday, February 3, 2023 from 5-8 at Fero Funeral Home, Beverly Hills, FL. Mass will be held at St. Scholastica Catholic Church (Lecanto) on Saturday, February 4, 2023, at 11 am.
