Patricia Terese Grabarski, age 94 passed away on Wednesday, September 25, 2024. She was born on March 18, 1930 in Chicago, IL to David and Nora McGrath. Patricia married Stanley J. Grabarski on September 17, 1966 in Chicago.

Patricia worked at Wrigley's for many years and it was here where she met Stanley. They moved to Arlington Heights to start a family and her dream came true - she became a mother of three children. Patricia adored being a mother, and then becoming a grandmother was a true blessing for her.
Patricia, a beacon of unwavering friendship and kindness, has left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her. She showed beauty and grace and brought joy and positivity to those around her. Her ladylike personality was magnetic. She will be greatly missed.
