Patricia Przybylek Obituary
Patricia Ann Scavia Przybylek passed away peacefully, after a short illness, with her family by her side on August 16, 2020. Patty was born April 28, 1946 in Schenectady, New York as the only daughter of John and Dora Gliosco Scavia. She grew up in Schenectady, graduated from Mont Pleasant High School in 1964 and later graduated from Europa School of Cosmetology in Schenectady, NY. She was predeceased by her parents. She is survived by her husband of 54 years, William C. Przybylek of St. Augustine, FL; her daughter, Deana (Paul) DiSorbo of Palm Coast, FL; four sons Donald (Maura) Przybylek of West Sand Lake, NY; Richard Przybylek of St. Augustine, FL; Joseph (Erika) Przybylek of Palm Coast, FL and Michael Przybylek of Springfield, MA; her grandchildren Amanda (Zach) Black; Daniel (Danielle), Matthew and Michael DiSorbo; Grayson, Tara, Derek, James and Ava Patricia Przybylek; her great-grandson Lane Black, her brother Robert (Sandra) Scavia of Niskayuna, NY; and her sister-in-law Cheryl (John) Jones of Glenville, NY; as well as several nieces and nephews. Her husband, children and grandchildren all were the foremost love of her life and the object of her constant care and affection. She devoted her life to being an absolutely incredible wife, mother, grandmother and homemaker. She also worked for over twenty years as a well-known hair stylist at several beauty salons in Schenectady and Scotia, NY. While living in New York, Ohio and Massachusetts, she volunteered at her children's schools and
also volunteered as a children's religious education teacher. In Florida, she enjoyed retirement and travel, but especially time with her family and many friends, where she enjoyed Zumba and Yoga classes at Funkytown Fitness and the St. Augustine YMCA. She was a wonderful and supportive partner for her husband while he served first as a New York State Trooper in Saratoga, NY and later as a Police Chief in Glenville, NY; West Carrollton, OH; Mashpee, Cape Cod, MA; and Rochester, MA, before they retired and moved to Florida in
August 2004. A memorial service will be held 2:00 PM on Wednesday, August 26th at the Craig Funeral Home, St. Augustine, FL. Contributions to charity of the donor's choice or St. Jude's Hospital for Children, Memphis, TN.

One of the highlights of the Zumba class that I took at the St. Auggie YMCA was being greeted by Patty. Her never failing optimism and warmth was an inspiration to us all as we wheezed and sweated our ways through our dances. One of the first things that I said to her was that she reminded me of Liz Taylor, only that she was much prettier. She was beautiful in both appearance and personality and I feel lucky to have been able to share some good laughs with her over the years that I've known her. I am one of a huge group of friends who will miss her very much, and my heart is broken from her loss and from the pain that her much loved family is suffering now. She loved you all so much. Cyndee

I have so many fond memories of time spent with Patty. She was a very warm and caring person. She welcomed me into her home and always treated me like family. She certainly helped improve my cooking skills as she was quite the cook. There are just so many great memories that I have it would be hard to pick just one. I will say she was a fabulous entertainer and always hosted the best holidays. I am so sorry for your loss and am praying for peace for the family.

I first met the Przybylek’s in the 80’s when they would come into Montana’s Sunoco. Mrs. Przybylek alway had a contagious smile and a kind word. I don’t think there was ever a time that I saw her, that she wasn’t smiling.
I appreciate having had the opportunities afforded to me by this wonderful family.
May the memories of your wife, mom, grandmother, and friend never fade.
