Patricia Testa Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Earle Funeral Home - Blackwood on Dec. 31, 2025.
Patricia A. Testa, affectionately known as Pat to her friends and family, passed away peacefully on December 27, 2025, at her home in Blackwood, NJ at the age of 80.

Born in South Philadelphia to her late parents Daniel and Anna Testa, Pat attended St. Maria Goretti High School. Following her graduation, she remained in South Philadelphia, as a member of St. Monica's parish. There she raised her three daughters, while working for over 25 years at Methodist Hospital in the Accounts Payable department.

Pat devoted her time outside of work to her beloved family. She leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories with her daughters, Lorianne Carrozza (Frank), Dana Maglio (Mark), and Nicole Hicken (Steven). She was a loving grandmother to Natalie Mills (Kenneth), the late Baby Gina Carrozza, Christopher Carrozza, Mark Maglio, Jr. (Regina), Dante Maglio, Gianna Schmittinger, (James, Jr.), Emily, Ethan, Elena, Olivia and Owen Hicken. Her joy was multiplied with the birth of each of her five great grandchildren, Wesley, Maria and Mila Mills, Giada and Eliana Maglio. She is also survived by her sister, Mary Anne Matteo (the late Joseph), along with many nieces and nephews.

In her later years, Pat moved to Blackwood, NJ to be closer to her daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. During that time, she enjoyed the simple pleasures of reminiscing with friends and family, afternoon shopping trips and watching the Hallmark channel.

There will be a visitation on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM at Our Lady of Hope Parish/St. Agnes Church, 701 Little Gloucester Rd., Blackwood, NJ 08012. A Funeral Mass will immediately follow in the church at 11:30 AM. Her interment will be private.
