Patricia Rothacker Obituary

Patricia Rothacker

Ft. Pierce, FL

Patricia Marie Rothacker was born on August 11, 1958, in Vincenza, Italy. Patty passed away on April 11, 2018, at her home surrounded by family. She was preceded in death by her husband, Gene Rothacker; her parents Roy and Hester Tomes; her grandson Andrew Rothacker; and her sister, Jeanie Robb. Patty leaves behind her daughter, Christa (Jon); her son, Sean (Tina); grandchildren, Ruben, Alyssa, Angelica, Reece, and Nikolas; her siblings: Ted (Josey), Tony (Becky), Candy (Chris), Kathy (Bob), Sonia (Eddie), & Sheila (Jack), as well as many loving nieces and nephews. Patty is also survived by her great friends, Tom & Randy, and the beautiful folks at Sunnier Palms. How do we say goodbye to someone as beautiful, as unique, as effervescent and full of life? We can't do that, so we will just say- we love you, forever, SunnyPatPat.

Patty was a GREAT lady. She loved God and she genuinely loved people. there was nothing fake about Patty. I always loved being around her and she brought alot of joy into our household. I was so shocked with her sickness and passing. The world is a sadder place without her bubbly presence!!

I miss her and think of her alot.

I was so blessed to be able to spend Patty's last days with her. We had the chance to sing silly songs from childhood. We shared special memories. She was gone all too soon. I will love her always. My forever sister.
