Patricia A. Horn

She had a place for everything and everything in its place. As Don of her family, Patricia ran a tight ship: some claimed her refrigerator had been alphabetized. Patricia cooked lots of meat and potatoes; her fried egg sandwiches and scrapple were tops. Though she enjoyed camping Patricia wasn’t so into roughing it; you wouldn’t find her in a tent if her R.V. was around. Later years found her working as a professional grandparent: she’d do anything and everything with her grandkids and most of it involved spoiling. She loved the sounds of Billy Joel, Barbara Streisand and the Jersey Boys but she threw in a little Flo Rida to mix it up a bit.
Patricia met a man named Ed who’d become her “Sir Horn.” Of course she later joked that she married him for his benefits. She’s survived by her children, Brian and Leah (Stephen) Falicki; her sisters, Anne Hughes and Rosalie Micucci; and eight grandchildren.
