Patricia Garnier

Patricia (Pat) Abbott Garnier, age 87, died on Friday, September 19, 2025. Born in Havre de Grace, MD, she was the daughter of the late Joseph and Lillian Abbott. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 58 years, William (Bill) Garnier in 2017. She is survived by her 3 children, Jodi (Matt), Michelle (Eric), and Susan (Dennis). She is also survived by 9 grandchildren: Kellie, Danielle, Shannon, Matthew, Patrick, Scott, Michael, Aaron, and Stephen, as well as 4 great grandchildren: Tate, Logan, Brooks and Mason. Patricia graduated from Havre de Grace High School. She and her friends deemed themselves "The Local Lovelies" and continued to stay in touch throughout the years. Pat and Bill raised their family in Bel Air, MD. During that time, Pat was co-owner of a women's clothing store with her dear friend, Nancy Owen. She eventually transitioned into real estate and quickly became a top performer. After Bill's retirement, Pat and Bill moved to Oconto Falls, WI where she continued her real estate career as co-owner of Metzler Hansen Realty. You could often find Pat and Bill with their friends at a local bar cheering on the Packers. Pat and Bill lived in Wisconsin for 15 years before moving to The Villages in Florida. There they spent 5 years before their full circle return to Maryland. Those who were fortunate enough to know Pat knew that she was always up for an adventure. She became a world traveler, taking annual "sister trips" with her sisters, Naomi Duffy and Catherine Anderson. Pat will be dearly missed. Services will be held at a later date, which has yet to be determined.
