Patrice (Abrams) Kaczka

Born to the late Marie (Cody) and Theodore Abrams, Patrice grew up in a family that valued love and resilience. She was a cherished sister to Maribeth Vaszily. Her memory is joined by the spirit of her predeceased brothers, Robert and William Abrams, and great-uncle Alfred Bell.

Patrice was Ronald's devoted wife and the loving mother to Christopher, Paul, and Ann Marie. As a grandmother, she brought joy and warmth to the lives of Eloise, Tessa, and Emilia. Patrice's role as a matriarch was defined by her fierce love and unwavering dedication to her family. Her heart overflowed with joy for her dogs and grand-dog, who brought immeasurable companionship to her life.

Beyond her family, Patrice was known for her quick wit, sharp humor, generosity, and the warmth she extended to all who knew her. Her absence leaves a void that can only be filled by the memories and the enduring love she shared with those fortunate enough to be a part of her life.

May she rest in peace, and may her family find solace in the memories of a life well-lived and a love that will forever endure.
