Obituary published on Legacy.com by Clayton Funeral Home, Inc. - Kings Park on Mar. 6, 2026.
Patricia Jinks, age 93, passed away peacefully on March 4, 2026. She was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1932 to Catherine Elizabeth Caffrey O'Brien and William James O'Brien. She shared 65 loving years of marriage with her husband, Frederick, until his passing in 2015. Together they raised their family in Kings Park, New York.

Pat was a devoted mother to her five children: Fred, Chris, Ellen, Carolyn, and Kevin. She was also a proud grandmother to 10 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. She worked as an auditor for the IRS before retiring.

Pat had a creative spirit and loved knitting, crocheting, sewing, and oil painting. She was a very social person who enjoyed music, dancing, and spending time with family and friends.

She is survived by her sisters Rosemary and Kathleen and was predeceased by her brother William. Patricia will be remembered for her warmth, her creativity, and the deep love she had for her family.

I loved my Aunt Pat. I always felt so happy and lucky to be able to spend time with her, my Uncle Freddie and all my cousins. My aunt knew how to tell a story, keep the room laughing, and was always the life of the party. I´ll miss our telephone catch ups, her kind words and all her helpful advice.

Dear Jinks Family,
I am very sorry to hear of Pat's passing.
Bill and I so enjoyed visiting with her, especially in North Carolina.
I looked forward to her sharing family stories and an Old Fashioned while Bill would take his afternoon nap.
Pat was a loving sister to Bill and always made time to call and check in on him. I know he appreciated those calls.
She was a special lady and will be missed.
Love, Linda
