Patricia Bly Obituary
Pat graduated from Carthage High School before furthering her education at Buffalo State (SUNY). Her career was marked by a profound commitment to community service. She was actively involved in Little League baseball and the Sports Boosters in Rotterdam. Pat also served as the treasurer for the Upstate NY Club in Barefoot Bay, FL. Her hobbies included sewing and knitting, creating clothes and Christmas stockings, as well as crafting doilies for dementia patients. Above all, Pat cherished the time spent with her children and grandchildren, leaving behind a legacy of love and devotion.
Pat is survived by her husband of 61 years, Dean Bly; her children, Thomas Bly and his wife Kristen, Melissa Bly, and John Bly and his wife Darci; her grandchildren, Mackenzie, Connor, Anna, Avery, and Ainsley; and her sister, Joan Dolan. She was preceded in death by her sister, Jean Lewis.
In keeping with Pat's wishes, no services will be held. The family is being assisted by a funeral home in Charlotte, NC. Pat's life and legacy will continue to be celebrated by her family and all who knew her.
