Patricia Anne (Villari) Higgins
Clinton Township - Patricia Anne (Villari) Higgins, age 84, of Clinton Township passed away peacefully on April 2, 2021 at her home surrounded by family.
Patricia (Pat) graduated from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine with a degree in Dental Hygiene. She met and married Pat Higgins in 1960 and moved to Michigan shortly thereafter. She was a dental hygienist for over 40 years in the Metro Detroit area.
Pat truly lived life to the fullest, and had an amazing knowledge of so many things - history, art, and food. Her love of books, movies and culinary travels across the world are well documented and emulated by her children.
She was a selfless servant giving to others through Meals on Wheels, delivering the eucharist to the homebound and driving her girlfriends around town when they were unable to do so.
Patricia was predeceased by her parents - June and Charles Villari, her husband Joseph (Pat) Higgins, sister Betty Villari and son-in-law Bill Walls.
She is survived by her 5 children - Kevin (Lisa) Higgins, Kerry (Jim) Wittman, Keith O'Higgins, Kip (Sally) Higgins and Amy (George Liss) Walls and her 9 grandchildren - George-Michael, Zack, Emily, Casey, Katrina, Lauren, Kelly, Ben and Grace. She is also survived by her sister Judy (Carl) Hudson.
A memorial service is being planned in the coming months with details to follow. A foundation close to Patricia's heart will be identified at the time of her memorial service for those that wish to donate in lieu of flowers.

A wonderful woman whose laugh and joy of life brought light and love to all. So grateful for her visits during my mother’s waning days and honored to have her visit me and my family. Her beauty, class, and grace will always be an inspiration.
