Patricia Rask Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Boylan Funeral Home, Inc. - Zelienople East on Feb. 11, 2026.
Patricia Louise Rask, 77, of Evans City, passed away peacefully on February 10, 2026, surrounded by her son and daughter-in-law.

Born on May 14, 1948, in Pittsburgh, she was the daughter of the late Albert Sr. and Leana (Trombetti) Colosimo. Patricia had a lifelong love for animals and found her greatest joy in farm life. The farm was not just where she lived it was where she felt most at home.

She loved caring for her animals and sharing that life with her family. Through simple days spent outside, feeding animals and enjoying the quiet beauty of the land, she created memories that will be cherished forever.

Patricia will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by her husband, Gary Rask; her son, Richard (Bonnie) Stewart; her grandchildren, Courtney (Jon) Stragand, Nicole Mueller, and Sean (Jillian) Stewart; her great-grandchildren, Aiden, Brooke, Gavyn, and Lillian; and her nephews, Chris (Donna) Hillman and Lenny Hillman.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Judi Hillman, and her brother, Albert Colosimo Jr.

Patricia will be laid to rest at Evans City Cemetery. Private arrangements were entrusted to Boylan Funeral Home, Inc., 324 E. Grandview Ave., Zelienople, PA 16063.

Her love for animals, her family, and the simple beauty of farm life will remain her lasting legacy.
