Patricia O'Rourke Obituary
Born in Troy, NY, she was the daughter of the late Walter William Wilsnack and Anna Tanchak Wilsnack.
Patti leaves her loving partner of 48 years, Carl Plue, her son, John O'Rourke of Cropseyville and grandchildren Declan and Avery. She also leaves her sister, Cynthia Walcott of Arizona and brother Walter William Wilsnack III of Glens Falls.
After graduating from Lansingburgh High School in 1971, Patti began her career as a data processor at Denby's Department Store, moving on as a data processing Supervisor for many years at Garden Way in Troy. She retired from Albany Medical Center as an admissions administrator.
Patti enjoyed many hobbies. She was an avid coin and classic toy collector.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society (mohawkhumane.org/tributes) in Patti's honor. In accordance with her wishes, there will be no services.
