Patricia Fink Obituary
Pat began her career as a dental office manager in York, PA, working for Dr. Thomas Garrett and Dr. George Kraft. She later moved to Maryland, where she transitioned into the insurance industry, becoming a life specialist for Allstate and State Farm. She retired from State Farm in Berlin, MD.
Pat was a devout member of her community and an active participant in her churches, St. Andrews in York and St Martha's in Bethany Beach. Her faith and dedication to her church community were integral parts of her life.
A loving wife to her late husband, William Fink, and a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Pat's joy came from time spent with her family. She is survived by her daughter, Elizabeth Repass and son in law Ron of Poolesville, MD; grandchildren, Zachary Petersen of Louisville, KY, and Madison Repass of Poolesville, MD; great-grandson, Hudson Petersen; daughter, Emily Wise and son in law Jay of York, PA; granddaughters, Amanda Wise (fiancé Kendall Mazyck) and Olivia Wise of York, PA; and great-grandson, Chance Mazyck. She was predeceased by her parents, Bill and Opal Ramage, brother, Gary Ramage, and her husband, William Fink.
Patricia was renowned for her culinary skills, especially her pies and potato salad, and loved hosting and entertaining alongside her husband. Being with her family brought her the greatest joy.
A service to celebrate Pat's life will be held on Saturday, September 14th, 2024, 11:00 am, at Etzweiler Funeral Home, 1111 East Market Street, York, PA 17403. The time of the service is to be determined.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of Patricia can be made to the Alzheimer's Association at https://www.alz.org/. Pat's kind spirit and loving presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

In 1972, my husband and I were patients of Dr. Kraft and we became friends with Pat...we were mutual cat lovers and when we found out we were pregnant with our first child, we asked Pat if she and Bill would like to adopt our kitten, Abby. We found a box of baby kittens at the York Fair and took one home with us. We were concerned about having a cat with a new baby, so Pat was happy to help us out. Little did we know until later, that Abby turned out to be a boy but Pat and Bill loved him anyway! Maybe the family remembers this pet and I hope it brings good memories. Pat also shared her delicious chocolate cake recipe with peanut butter icing and I still use it to this day. I am sorry to hear of her passing and extend my sincerest sympathy to her whole family. She was a lovely lady and wonderful person. Gail (Heilig) Reachard
