Circumstances: Pancreatic Cancer
Patricia began her career as an EMT for NYC EMS on August 17, 1987. She spent the next 35 years taking care of the residents and visitors to New York City. She wasn’t into any type of fanfare, she just wanted to do her job, that’s one of the many reasons that made her so special. On her off time, Patricia loved the quiet life, she loved and enjoyed being a homemaker to her husband Phil {Also on the job} and two sons Jesse and Phil Jr.
Patricia was a first responder to Ground Zero during the terrorist attacks on the WTC and spent many months down there during the rescue and recovery phases. She developed Pancreatic Cancer because of her time at ground zero, which forced her to retire on October 2, 2021, and ultimately caused her death at an early age.
