Patti Parma Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of Patti Parma, age 65, who passed on November 13th, 2024 after a brave and inspiring battle against leukemia.
Patti was preceded in death by her father, John Parma, her mother Patricia Parma, and her brothers, Tom and Jonathan Parma.
Patti is survived by her son, Andrew Brennan, and his wife, Shannon Brennan; her siblings, Nanci Parma and Chris Parma; and her niece, Kim Morgan and her two kids Josh and Ellie.
Patti was born on June 16, 1959 and lived in Broadview Heights, OH for the majority of her life. She attended Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School, before pursuing her passion for education at Bowling Green State University. Patti then spent her influential 30 year career serving youth of all ages for the Cuyahoga County of Developmental Disabilities, a labor of love that she was deeply proud of and that others deeply appreciated.
Patti was a caretaker in all forms of the word. From caring for her son and niece, to her many students, to her brother Jon, was known for putting others before herself. Her vibrant smile and joyful spirit made a lasting impact on so many; her legacy of positivity, laughter, and love will live on in the spirits of those of us she has left behind.
To gather and honor Patti’s incredible journey, a Celebration of Life will be held at Tom’s Country Place in Avon, Ohio on December 1st from 1 PM- 5PM. Condolences and special memories of Patti may also be shared with her family online at www.heritagecremationsociety.com
