Patricia Ann Urso

Patricia Henry Urso, of Cos Cob, Connecticut, passed away on January 29th. Pat was born in Stamford, CT on Halloween in 1935 to the late Charles & Mary Leonard Henry. She graduated Stamford High School in 1953, following St. John's School & recently attended her 70th high school reunion, reuniting with old friends & reminiscing about the good ole days! After Secretary school, Pat began her career as a switchboard operator at Machletts and AMF, then became an Executive Secretary. Known for her lovely voice & fun personality, Pat served in various roles at Brinks, Air Express & finally, Pyramid Real Estate.
Pat enjoyed crossword puzzles, pinochle with her Mom, brother & husband & Rummy 500 with anyone who didn't mind losing! She rarely missed the daily doubleheader of Wheel of Fortune & Jeopardy & was a loyal viewer since Art Fleming hosted! Nanny, as most of us called her, always had a stash of sweets on hand, usually an Entenmann's crumb cake or Fig Newtons for the grandkids or ice cream sandwiches for a midnight snack! She enjoyed shopping, listening to oldies, dancing & picnics at Tod's Point or Cos Cobber with her crew, aka, "The Golden Girls". Pat found ultimate joy, though, in being a wife, mother, & grandmother to her family – and there have been none better! She prepared delicious, home-cooked meals with all the trimmings! She had a strong faith in God & was grateful for her blessings. Pat was the original when it came to wit & her entire lineage owes their sense of humor to her. May the laughter continue in her honor.
Pat is survived by her daughter, Cheryl Fitzpatrick (Mike), sons, Philip Urso (Debbie), Lindy Urso (Dina), Michael Urso, along with nine beloved grandchildren, & cherished nieces & nephews. She was predeceased by Leondino "Lindy" Urso & siblings, Charles (Toby) Henry, Kay (Sis) Riley, William (Chick) Henry, Doris Santoro & Marylou Remy.
