Please share your memories here. Patricia’s family will cherish them forever. 

Patricia was born on December 1, 1937 and was the youngest of five children to bless the family.  She was raised in New York and after her schooling she met Frank Felix on a blind date.  They fell in love and married in 1961.  They lived in Palisades Park and Waldwick before settling in Parsippany N.J. to raise their four children.  Patricia was a dedicated teacher, devoted wife, and adoring mother.  As the years passed she was crowned the title of “Grandma Pat” to eleven grandchildren.  The sun rose and set on her grandchildren and her favorite times were spent with them.  She was over the moon to recently become known as Gigi to her great grandson!

Patricia enjoyed a game of cards, a good shopping trip, crossword puzzles, and was an avid reader.  Above all, just being with family meant the most to Patricia. In this season of Thanksgiving we are reminded to be grateful always for Patricia’s love and presence in our lives.  

She leaves joyful memories to her husband Francis ‘Frank’ of 59 years; her children Keith (Gina), Kevin (Carolyn), Karen McAllister (Kevin) and Kenneth (Linda); her grandchildren Kristina Toohey (Chris), Kelly Gower (Zach) Kim Felix (Brandon LaVia - engaged), Kasey Felix, Connor and William Felix, Colin, Christopher and Courtney McAllister and Matthew and Michael Felix; her great grandson Tyler Toohey, her beloved niece Geraldine Kennedy Moss (Scott) and many more dear relatives and friends.
