In Loving Memory of a Wonderful Mom

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Patricia Ann Kosteva a cherished mother, devoted family member, and friend to many. Patricia left this world on December 16, 2025, surrounded by love, after a life filled with grace, warmth, and unwavering devotion.

Born on July 1, 1938 in Plymouth PA, Patricia grew into a woman whose compassion and strength touched everyone she met. She carried with her a gentle spirit, a generous heart, and a tireless commitment to the people she loved.

As a mother, Patricia embodied selflessness and encouragement. She filled our home with laughter, patience, and steady guidance, teaching us to be kind, and to work hard. She celebrated our victories, supported us through challenges, and offered quiet, steadfast strength when we needed it most.

Her legacy extends beyond her family to the many friends, and neighbors. Her home was a sanctuary of love where everyone felt welcomed and seen.

Pat loved children and enjoyed especially her grandchildren whom she cherished time with and found joy in simple moments.
