Cooney (Patrick), Kathleen A. Victor (Robert), Maria T. Morris (James), and Lauren E. Desiderio; great-aunt of Jamie, Emily, Patrick, Ryan, Megan, John, Matthew, and Katie. Patty’s greatest joy was spending time with her family. They were the center of her life. She was a close confidante for her entire family; always ready to lend an ear when someone needed to talk. Patty could often be found on the sidelines of her grandchildren, nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews sporting events. No matter the sport or level, Patty was always there in the front row cheering them on. She was an avid Flyers and Eagles fan, and rarely missed a game. She looked forward to attending a Flyers game every year with her children and grandchildren. Patty enjoyed vacationing with her immediate family along the East Coast, and cruising internationally with her husband Ray, sister Dotty, and brother-in-law Jack. One of Patty’s favorite pastimes, coined “porch time” by her grandchildren, was sitting on the front porch in the morning while drinking coffee, admiring her envious Southern Magnolia tree and catching up on the lives of her children and grandchildren. Patty worked for the Gloucester Township school district for many years as a bus aide, where she provided much-needed care and assistance to special needs students during transportation to and from school. She was greatly loved and respected by both the students and her co-workers. Urn visitation will be Wednesday, April 7, 2021 from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at Our Lady of Hope Parish/ St. Agnes Church, 701 Little Gloucester Road, Blackwood, NJ 08012, where her Funeral Mass will begin at 11:00 AM.
