Patricia Capps Obituary
Born: August 15, 1974 in Woodstock, IL
Died: December 6, 2021 in Johnsburg, IL
Patricia Capps, 47, a longtime resident of Johnsburg lost her battle with Pancreatic Cancer on December 6, 2021 at her sister's home in Johnsburg, Illinois. Patricia was born on August 15, 1974 in Woodstock, Illinois. She was the fourth child to Kathie (Flannigan) and the late Lecil Capps. She attended Johnsburg schools until she graduated in 1993.
Patti, as she was best known, was proudest of her two sons, Jesse and Ryder who her love for ran as deep as her dimples. Her second proudest moment was when she received a kiss from Ryan Chiaverini on Windy City Live after receiving a makeover on the show. Patti spent many years working in the service and retail industry. Her friendly, gregarious nature seldom met a stranger. She could strike up a conversation about anything with anyone. All who met her had a friend for life and described her as a kind soul. Patti enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, especially her best friend, Kym Krueger.
Patti is survived by her children, Jesse and Ryder; Her mother, Kathie Capps; her three sisters, Lisa (Dan) Wikman, Melissa (Jack) Tinsley, and Katie/Lucy (Reggie) Blount; her brother, Jon (Jenni Dedic) Capps; six nephews, Jack III, Jake, Dillon, Matt, Kyle, and Luke; four nieces, Brittany, Brooke, Bethany and Saida; and numerous cousins and aunts and uncles. Patti was preceded in death by her father, Lecil Capps.
The family will host a celebration of life for Patti on Friday, December 10 from 4:00-7:00pm at the Johnsburg Community Club 2315 W Church St. Johnsburg, Illinois 60051. Please come share with her family a story or two of how Patti touched your life.

Patti was such a blessing to everyone who had the privilege of meeting her. Her kindness, warmth, and incredible spirit always lit up any room she was in. I feel so lucky to have met her myself. She will be deeply missed, but her memory and the love she shared will live on forever in the hearts of all who knew her. Rest in peace, Patti.

My big sister
My sister was my protector
Throughout my early years
She stuck up for me many times
And put to rest my fears
She always brought me right along
Into any trouble she would find
I knew that she would have my back
Each and every time
As we grew up and got older
And our lives began to change
Some things became different
But our love it still remained
She was a great connection
To my family and my friends
A phone call or a message
Kept me caught up to the end
She never met a stranger
Truer words have not been spoken
Now that she has left this life
My heart is surely broken
She´ll live on in our memories
And photos that we have
And those times that we recall
Which often make us laugh
As saddened as i am
To see your life come to an end
I was lucky enough to have in you
A great sister and great friend

I never got to know Patricia, but Jesse is like family to us, and his love for his mom has always been overwhelmingly apparent. His eyes twinkle when he talks about her and shares memories! She has raised two wonderful young men who will carry on her love to others.

Patti was a great friend. I am glad that Patty and Ryder came over to my house to visit a few times over the summer. We could go for months without speaking and pick up right where we left off. I loved her smile it was always so contagious! I am going to miss our random chats on messenger. She is a beautiful soul. My condolences to her family. God has gained a beautiful Angel.
