Pat was always willing to give her time to others and enjoyed volunteering through her church and in her community.

Their years together were filled with companionship, love, and many cherished memories.
In her free time, Pat enjoyed logic and word games and rarely missed an opportunity to test her luck with a game of chance. Her quick wit and playful spirit were a part of what made her so special.
Pat was predeceased by her parents, Ben and Margaret Cianciarulo; her beloved husband, Jim; her brother, Don; her sister, Geri; and her brothers-in-law, John Fiore and Herb Ringham.
