Patricia is now reunited with her beloved husband Richard who passed away in 2022.
Pat was predeceased by her parents, Michael and Mary (nee Fanning) Magner, her brothers Thomas Magner and Michael Magner, and her sister-in-law Cathy Magner.
She is survived by her loving children: Thomas (Nicole), Patricia Seddon (Jeff), Wade (Donna), Pamela, Michael (Elizabeth), Lynn, and Kymm Horan (Tim). She is also survived by her 15 grandchildren, her 5 great-grandchildren, her brother James Magner, and her sister-in-law Merle Magner.
Pat grew up in North Bergen with her beloved parents and three younger brothers. She graduated from Saint Dominic’s Academy and then went onto New York Business School. She enjoyed a career as executive assistant to the corporate secretary of the General Baking Company. Pat and Richard moved their family to Long Beach Island in 1969 where “everyday was a good day.”
In addition to parenting her seven children, Pat volunteered for many organizations, including the Long Beach Island Health Department, the Long Beach Township Recreation Department, Saint Mary’s Academy, Cub Scouts, and Saint Francis Parish. Patricia was also a member of the Brant Beach Home Owners Association and the Garden Club of Long Beach Island.
Pat enjoyed gardening, knitting, puzzles, dancing, and music. Pat and Richard enjoyed a life of traveling, theatre, and weekly dinner dates. Above all else, the times she spent with her family and dear friends were her happiest. Patricia enjoyed walking the beach with her grandchildren looking for shells, wading in the Atlantic Ocean, and gathering around the table for homecooked meals. As remembered by those blessed to know and be loved by her, Patricia provided wisdom, comfort, support, and friendship over relaxed living room chats and phone calls.
A visitation at Saint Francis of Assisi Church will be held Monday, January 15, 2024 from 10:00 AM-11:00 AM with a Mass to follow at 11:00 AM.
Memorial donations are suggested to the Beach Haven First Aid Squad, Saint Francis Food Pantry, and PBA Local 373.
