GLORIA ANN PATANIA

Dear Aunt Gloria, So soon a year has passed. I know you are resting in peace and the whole family and Uncle Nuncy are with you. I do think of you often and of course the first thing I think of is the dinners on Leghorn Street. All of your nieces have a special place in their hearts for you. You will never be forgotten, With love, your Niece, Ginny

Thank you, everyone, for your kind words and shared memories of Aunt Gloria. With her passing, it truly is an end of an era. Because Uncle Nuncy passed away during Covid, nothing could be done for him at the time. Including going to the cemetery for his internment. However, the church and the mortuary were kind enough to include Uncle Nuncy in the service. Father Banka's homily was beautifully done with personal feelings and experiences he had with both of them throughout his years at St....

As a child I remember the dinners at Nana´s house. Aunt Gloria always brought the best desserts. I really liked her marshmallow treats made with the multi colored marshmallows. I will really miss sending you cards each month. I thought of you and my dad often. You even shared the same birthday. He really loved you Aunt Gloria. I know you are with Jesus now. Love, Sharon - Frank´s daughter

In loving memory of a sweet, gentle soul. Aunt Gloria was always the kindest and most gentle person. She was the youngest of her family and 11 years older than me, so therefore, growing up she was a role model whom I always admired for her gentleness in her mannerisms and personality In all my life, I never new her to say an unkind word.

We at St. Patricks will always remember Nuncy and Gloria for the devotion to each other and to the Lord. They started saying the rosary after morning Mass and we have continued that in their name to this day. While we are sad to not have them with us any longer, we are glad that Gloria has been able to rejoin Nuncy. Love and prayers for all the family.

It is with deep sympathy that I write this. Aunt Gloria is the last of that generation that was a huge factor in my growing up. As a child I remember riding with my grandfather in his truck to the train station to pick up Aunt Gloria coming home from work. I would anxiously look for her as the train came to a stop. She would step off the train and always looked so nice in her suits. She was always so well dressed and her hair so well styled. I miss those days. Now she will be with that whole...
