She was a former Chicago Public Schools English teacher, teaching at Mather, Kennedy and Tilden high schools. Patricia was a joy to know. She was known for her smiles and infectious laugh. So much so that her grandchildren called her Grinny instead of Granny. She was a proud Chicago Democrat. Patricia was the most witty and fun person on earth. She brought the sunshine and the laughter, and always had a song at the ready. She could play any song requested on the piano – by ear. Her wit, stories and sense of humor were legendary. She lit up a room. She was the whole party. She loved her beautiful home in Grand Beach, Michigan, designed and built with love alongside her husband. Patricia loved returning to live in Chicago from Hinsdale, IL. She was an avid reader and life-long learner. She could change your day with her smile and loved with all of her heart. She was a mother like no other. She had legions of friends. Special gratitude to Geneva Brock, Jong Grayes and the team at Mercy Circle, for their loving care.
