Patricia Taback Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Segal Funeral Home - Beth David Chapel - Tampa on Dec. 15, 2025.
Born on April 9, 1942, in Baltimore, Maryland, Patricia Gail Taback was a beacon of warmth and love to all who knew her. She was preceded in death by her parents, Rebecca and Ralph Miller, and her husband, Denny. Pat is survived by her sister, Benita Lamont, her daughters, Megyn Taback and Rachael (John) Mitchell, and her grandchildren, Rylan and Zachary Mitchell. For those fortunate enough to cross her path, you'd know that Pat was not just a talented artist and smart woman but also a generous, loving person.

Pat, a National Board Certified Teacher, devoted over 30 years of her life to teaching art to high school students. In her retirement, she continued to nurture her artistic spirit by painting and drawing. Pat was also a fantastic cook and caterer, with a palate for good food and wine that she shared with her husband Denny.

Her love for family was evident. She was an amazing grandmother, fondly known as Bubby. Her grandkids, and indeed everyone who knew her, will remember the joy she brought to them with her unconditional love. To know Pat was to feel cherished and understood. Her family, and all who knew her felt the warmth of her love and kindness.

Her memory will forever be etched in our hearts and minds. Please join us in celebrating Pat's life by sharing your memories, pictures, and stories on her memorial page. Your contributions will help keep her spirit alive and remind us of the incredible woman we were so lucky to know.
