It is with heavy hearts that the family of Patricia announce her passing.

She was predeceased by Joseph Paul Dzatko, loving husband of 46 years. Survived by her daughters, Lisa Dzatko and Lara Arend; grandson, Felix Arend; mother, Sophie Nemis; sisters, Jean Anderson and Mary Nemis; brothers, Daniel Nemis, Leonard Nemis, and Robert Nemis; and partner, John Rybuck.

She was a big personality who lived to love and laugh, and her resilience remains an inspiration. Her loss leaves a void in all those whose lives she touched.

In lieu of gifts or flowers, the family requests donations to Patricia’s beloved Taras Shevchenko Museum: http://www.infoukes.com/shevchenkomuseum/donor.htm
