Patricia Ann Pappaterra

Patricia Ann Pappaterra aged 77, passed away peacefully on June 8, 2024, surrounded by her loving family.  Her battle with cirrhosis of the liver in recent years showed her courage in facing her illness with a smile on her face.  Pat fought hard and stayed strong until the very end.  She was a loving wife and mother and was loved by all who knew her.

Pat was born in Nutley, New Jersey on July 21,1946.  She was one of 5 children to Mary and Natale Pancaro.  Pat was married to the late Ronald Pappaterra and survived by her sons Vince, and Tony (Chelsea) and her daughter, Jill Hardy (Jeff).  She had 8 grandchildren who she adored greatly. She had a very special bond with her grandson Rylan whom she loved to be around.  Pat was preceded in death by her sister Natalie DiMaria and her brother Peter Pancaro.  She is survived by her two sisters, Mary Bottazzi and Lisa Pancaro of New Jersey and her brother-in-law Kenneth Pappaterra of Pittsburgh, and many nieces and nephews.

Pat was an avid church goer and ran the Bingo at St. Malachy Church for some years.  This brought so much joy to her life.  She looked forward to this time with others and enjoyed dedicating her time to the church.  Pat also enjoyed visiting the shores of New Jersey to see her family every summer when she was able.

A Mass of Christian Burial to honor Patricia will be held at 10 AM on Saturday, June 22, 2024 in St. Malachy Church, Kennedy Township, Archangel Gabriel Parish.  Private interment in the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies.
