Patricia Ann Lennon

Patricia Ann Lennon, 78, of Alachua, FL passed away on Sunday, 23 November 2025.

She was born to Frank Arotin and Dorothy Enrico on 20 June 1947 in Alleghany County, PA.

Pat was a devoted wife, mother, sister, grandmother and friend dedicated to her family who created a warm and welcoming home whether in Orlando, Alachua or Roswell. She was known for her feisty, yet loving nature, who possessed remarkable strength of character and unwavering honesty.

She had a creative joyful spirit, was an incomparable hostess, and an enthusiastic and competitive card player.

Pat and her husband, Gene, were devoted soulmates who created a life filled with family celebrations, surrounded by extended family and dear friends.

Above all, Pat exemplified selfless service and unconditional love, caring devotedly for her husband and family. She faced her own serious health challenges with grace and gratitude, never complaining, and attributing her extended years to divine blessing that allowed her to fulfill her greatest wish: caring completely for Gene.

She is survived by her son, Eric, and her step-children, Dana Lennon, Eugene Jr., and Elizabeth Brock; her grandchildren, Jason Lennon, Devin Lennon-Davey, Vanessa Milian, Killeen Ricks, Henry Lennon, and Charlotte Lennon; her sister, Diana Caldwell; and six great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband of nearly 45 years, Eugene (Gene) Lennon, Sr.; her mother, Dorothy, and father, Frank Arotin; by her grandparents who adopted and raised her, Darl and Goldie Woodside; and by her sister Linda Cavanaugh.

Family and friends are invited to attend a memorial service at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, 2021 W State Rd 426, Oviedo, FL 32765 on Friday, 5 December 2025 at 11:00 am.

Visitation will precede the service on Friday from 10:00 am to 11:00 am at the church.

A reception will immediately follow the services and interment will follow at Drawdy-Rouse Cemetery, 4050 Rouse Rd, Orlando, FL 32817.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to The Assistance Fund in her memory.
