Sharon Patrick

Sharon Lee Patrick, née Kosciusko, passed away on September 11, 2023 at the age of 66, surrounded by her loving family.
Sharon was born on August 28, 1957 in New Brunswick, New Jersey to her parents Dorothy and Leonard Kosciusko. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Gary Patrick, her parents, and her sister Cindy Oeters.
Sharon is survived by her devoted children, Tammi Graciano (married to Christian Graciano), Rachel Patrick, Samantha Patrick (engaged to Greg Klausa), as well as her stepchildren, Paul Patrick (married to Rose Patrick) and Jackie Patrick. She was a cherished grandmother to Caila Graciano, Jaden Graciano, Meghan Patrick, Sean Patrick, Daniel Patrick, Harper Patrick, and an eagerly anticipated baby boy. Sharon was also a proud great-grandmother to Everleigh Smith.
Sharon found joy in many things throughout her life. She had a deep love for Disney, the beach, puzzles, games, and Sudoku. She had an affinity for the music of Meatloaf, and her house was always beautifully adorned during the holidays. Sharon's green thumb was evident in her well-tended garden, and her extensive collection of Barbies and tchotchkes brought her much delight. Above all, Sharon treasured spending time with her family and friends.
In 1981, Sharon married the love of her life, Gary Patrick, on the Fourth of July. They shared over three decades of love and companionship until Gary's passing in 2010.
Sharon spent the majority of her working years at Mendokers Bakery in Jamesburg, where she formed lasting friendships and contributed to the community. She retired two years ago, leaving behind a legacy of hard work and dedication.
Sharon's memory will forever live on in the hearts of her surviving siblings, Leonard Kosciusko and Linda Goldman, along with numerous nieces and nephews. She will be remembered for her warm heart, infectious laughter, and unwavering love.
A memorial service to celebrate Sharon's life will be held on Saturday, September 23rd, 2023 from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Aftercare Cremation Service, 241 Bordentown Avenue, South Amboy, NJ 08879.
May Sharon Patrick rest in peace, and may her legacy continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know and love her.
