Patricia Ellen-Christina "Patti" Brown

Patricia Ellen-Christina Brown, also known as Patti, passed away in her home on February 12, 2024, in Florence, South Carolina, at the age of 64. She was born on June 6, 1959, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to the late Donald and Norma (Weber) Otto.

Patti was a beloved wife to William Brown, a cherished mother to Delaney and Noah, and the favorite "Jemmy" of Kaisley Hope. She was a caring, loving, and generous soul throughout her life. Patti's journey of compassion began when she answered the call and entered the Mercy School of Nursing right after graduating high school in 1977. For 12 years, she worked as a Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse at Mercy Hospital, committing herself to the care of vulnerable premature babies and their mothers. Patti later continued her career at McLeod Regional Medical Center, where she served for 34 years, touching the lives of countless families.

Patti's dedication and selflessness were deeply appreciated by her coworkers, who were by her bedside during her final days, just as she had always been there for them. Her colleagues will forever remember her zeal for life and unwavering commitment to duty and be grateful for the kindness and love she showed them. Patti was also adored by many nieces and nephews, who held a special place in her heart.

Born the third daughter of five girls, Patti remained a Pittsburgher at heart, even though she spent most of her adult life in South Carolina. She will always be remembered as a humble and caring woman, someone who always put others' needs ahead of her own.

Patti's educational journey began at St. Joseph's Catholic School and continued at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart High School. She further pursued her passion for nursing at the Mercy School of Nursing.

A Funeral Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Anthony's Catholic Church, located at 2536 Hoffmeyer Road in Florence, SC
at 2pm Thursday, February 15, 2024.

Patti's compassionate spirit and lifelong dedication to caring for others will be deeply missed by her family, friends, coworkers, and all those whose lives she touched. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let Perpetual Light shine upon her. May her precious soul rest in peace.
