CURRENT CELEBRATIONS

Patricia Ann Kroupa

Family was at the center of Patricia’s world. Holidays were sacred, from Easter to Christmas, where she ensured that everyone came together to celebrate, making each occasion memorable. Her creativity shone through in the beautiful cross-stitch pieces and ceramics she crafted, which became treasured family keepsakes. Professionally, Patricia spent many years at Our Lady of Good Counsel (OLGC) before transitioning into the medical field. She worked in various medical offices, including Jefferson, Penn, and Fox Chase, where her kindness and dedication to helping others was evident. Her work was an extension of her caring nature, always focused on making a difference in people’s lives. Patricia held season tickets to the Walnut Street Theatre for about 15 years, sharing her passion for theater with her family. When not at the theater, she could often be found enjoying her favorite HGTV shows. A dedicated mother to her four children, Patricia never missed a single sporting event. Whether it was a game, recital, or school function, she was always there in the stands, cheering them on. Despite the busy demands of raising four children, she managed to have dinner ready on the table every night, balancing everything with grace. Even as her children grew, her support never wavered. Patricia found her real calling later in life as a “Me-Mom.” She loved having her grandchildren over for sleepovers, taking them to the theater, and being there for their sports games. Her presence at softball, dance, baseball, and soccer games was constant, always offering encouragement and love to her favorite players.  Though her husband passed away at an early age, Patricia cherished the time they spent together. They enjoyed traveling, taking two or three cruises, and making cherished memories during occasional trips to Sea Isle City and Ocean City, NJ. She held onto their shared love of adventure even after his passing.

Patricia Ann is survived by her children: Michael (Diane), Christopher (Alexis), Jeff (Sandie) and Beth (Tom), grandchildren: Jacqueline, Michael, Sarah, Kaylie, Landon, Madison, James, and Julianna; great-grandchildren: Matthew, Haiden, Madelyn, Nora, and Abigail.

Patricia is survived by her long time boyfriend Mike, who she enjoyed dancing, dinners, and traveling with for the past 15 years.
