Jacqueline Patterson Obituary
Red Bank - Jacqueline Travers Patterson passed on Sunday, January 21, 2018, after a long battle with cancer. She was a fighter and battled 10 years with a smile on her face. She refused to give up until she had no choice left. She will be dearly missed for her unending love, compassion, positivity, and joie de vivre'.
She was predeceased by her sons, Patrick and twins Robert and David, her only granddaughter Julia, her son in law Stephen, her father Jerome Travers, mother Marie Labrecque Travers, and her sisters Marie Travers Paine and Jeraldine Travers.
She is survived by her husband of 60 years, Donald Robert Patterson, Sr., and children, Jacqueline Anne Patterson, Donna Ree McDonnell, and Donald Robert Patterson, Jr. and his wife Ruthellen, along with grandsons Lance, Nicholas, Matthew, and Joshua and her sister Alida Masyada.
She graduated Red Bank Catholic High School in 1952 and continued with many lifelong friends, namely her "Traveling Circus" gals. Every September for many years, the gals would travel to Myrtle Beach for friendship and fun in the sun. She worked for the Telephone Company after high school and later for Shrewsbury State Bank. She was also very active in the RBFD Independent Engine Company Ladies Auxiliary, the Red Bank Board of Health, and the Red Hats Society.
People were immediately drawn to her for her love of life and genuine compassion. She was always the life of the party and loved to dance. She loved to go shopping, knit, the beach, and spending time with her grandsons. Most of all she loved her family and friends who will miss her dearly.
The family will hold a memorial gathering on Thursday, January 25th from 4 to 7 pm at Thompson Memorial Home,310 Broad St, Red Bank, NJ.

I was so upset to read that Jackie had passed. I had the privlige to work with her for the better part of 18 years at Shrewsbury State Bank. I will so miss running in Jackie as we could talk for hours on end. She was truly a one of a kind just plain old totally nice person. And to whoever wrote that obit....you nailed it! the one thing i remember best was at the annual Christmas party for the bank Jackie never sat down it was the dance floor all night. She will truly be missed.

To the Patterson family, I am so sorry for your loss. I will miss seeing Jackie and the many talks we had over the years of knowing her. I will miss her smile .
She was someone I always looked forward to seeing and talking to on the phone. I will miss her wonderful sense of humor that brightened my day.
