Patricia "Patti" Irwin, 68, passed away suddenly on November 25, 2022 with all of her family around her. She was born on February 4, 1954 in Queens, NY and was a New York girl through and through. She loved everything about being from NY.  Patti was a Jill of all trades from taxi cab driver to mortgage broker, artist and pet sitter extraordinaire; starting two successful businesses with just a box of business cards. Her most important jobs however, were wife, mother, sister, Mema and friend. She was the CEO of the family. Patti was a talented artist and lover of animals mostly dogs. Shopping, doing her makeup, an incredible laugh and the worst singing voice (the babies loved it though) were all things she was known for. She enjoyed listening to music; anything from Elvis and the Beatles to Willie Nelson and Kenny Rogers. She spent leisure time at the beach sitting under an umbrella sipping on a good Bloody Mary, admiring the peaceful tides of the ocean. Christmas was her favorite holiday; decorating her beautiful tree and her house with her collection of Santa Clauses were things she looked forward to doing every year. Although Christmas morning always looked like she bought out every store, it wasn't about the amount of gifts, she just loved seeing the happiness of her family together, especially finding what that "Elf on the Shelf" got into.

Patti was the person that you could always count on no matter what, she would do anything for anyone. She was a master problem solver of the problems of life and she always gave the best advice. If you didn't want an honest answer, don't ask her, because she was honest to a fault and had no filter. She would tell you how it was but always would be there to support you. Patti was the most giving and loving person. She loved her family fiercely, supported all of our dreams and goals and she never asked or expected anything in return.  After meeting her, you immediately felt like she was your friend and we were all blessed to have had her in our lives. Her loss is one that will be felt forever. She was the most amazing woman and was loved more than she could have ever imagined .
