Patricia's journey began in Fredonia, NY, and her heart found a cherished home in Cassadaga, NY after she married her late husband. Her loving spirit lives on through her four devoted children and nine precious grandchildren, who will forever hold her memory dear. Patricia poured her dedication into her work at Dunkirk ice cream, and later, found deep fulfillment nurturing little ones through childcare in her home, a path she embraced until illness gently called her away. Family and friends will gather to celebrate her life with viewing services and burial in Springfield, Illinois.
