Patricia Tobin Obituary
After raising twelve children, Patsy dedicated her career to Occupational Therapy at Episcopal Hospital. She retired after 20 years to return to her true passion, caring for her family which included diapers, carpooling for her grandchildren, and sharing delicious meals around her dining room table. Above all, we will miss her love, guidance, gentleness, and chic sense of style. Her lasting legacy and fierce love for family, will live on through us.
Relatives and friends are invited to her viewing on Saturday, September 10, 2022, from 9 AM to 10:30 AM in Christ the King Church, 3252 Chesterfield Road, Philadelphia, PA 19114. Her funeral mass will begin at 10:30 AM. Interment will be held privately at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory to St Jude Children's Research Hospital @ stjude.org would be greatly appreciated by her family.

My Aunt Pat known as “Aunt Pat Tilton” was a lovely, elegant woman. She had a gentle disposition and beautiful smile. She raised quite a family.
My condolences and love. Jacqueline Juliano

When someone reaches 90 years of age they have truly lived several lifetimes. I was fortunate to have been included as a part of Pat’s wonderful family, mostly in the middle chapter of her life. She welcomed me into the family with open arms. No one was a stranger to Pat and everyone was always welcome at her table. I was treated like one of her own. After having the children, Pat decided she wanted to go work at a fitness center for women where I also worked. She was a miraculous woman and everyone was touched by her sense of humor, kindness, and fitness after 12 children!. Pat was my mother-in-law. Pat was my hospitality mentor. She was so loved and will be missed by so so many people as she has touched so many. My most sincere condolences to the entire family.
