Patricia Mazzatosta Obituary

Patricia was born in Niagara Falls, N.Y., on May 25, 1937, the daughter of the late John and Pearl Allen Reagan.

Her legacy will forever remain her love for her family, her smile, strength and laughter. Patricia always wanted her family to remember ... "Keep your promises, share, think of others before yourself, say I Love You, listen to your parents, do your best, say please and thank you, always tell the truth, laugh at yourself, hug often, use kind words and most importantly ... Love Each Other."

On April 8, 1961, she married the love of her life, Thomas A. Mazzatosta, at Sacred Heart Church in Niagara Falls, N.Y.

Patricia was preceded in death by her sisters, Irene Reilly, Geraldine Kydd and Christina Rucinski, and brother, John Reagan.

In addition to her husband, Thomas, of 55 years, Patricia is survived by her loving children, Debbie (Stan) Grebeck, Canonsburg; Thomas "Buck" Mazzatosta, Lower Burrell; and Lori (Paul) Berkowitz, Bethlehem; and sister, Katherine Lech, Niagara Falls, N.Y. She leaves her loving memories to be cherished by her four grandchildren, Tim and Sarah Grebeck and Matthew and Melissa Berkowitz, and many nieces and nephews.

The funeral will be held at 9:15 a.m. Thursday at Corcoran Funeral Home Inc., 20 S. Main St., Plains Township, with a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. in St. Elizabeth's Church, 5700 Bear Creek Blvd., Bear Creek Village.

Entombment will be held in the Italian Independent Cemetery, West Wyoming.
