Obituary of Patricia Ann Bianchi Brothers

Patricia Ann Brothers, nee Bianchi, 73 of Hobe Sound, FL and Surf City, NJ, passed away on December 4, 2015 after a long illness. Her fight with cancer was an inspiration to not only family, relatives and friends, but also to those who knew her in the medical community who were helping her. Patty was born in Newark, NJ and lived in Belleville, Lake Hiawatha and Pine Brook before she was married. She was a graduate of Parsippany High School, Class of 1960.

For the past several years, Patty was a member of the Lost Lake Golf Club in Hobe Sound, FL, and the Sea Oaks Golf Club in Little Egg Harbor Twp., NJ. Patty is survived by her husband of 49 years, Thomas; three loving sons and daughter in laws, David (Dana), Paul (Alyssa) and Jon (Carolee) and five wonderful grandchildren, Gabrielle, Victoria, David, Bronston, and Dominick. Family and friends attest that there never was a more loving and devoted wife, mother, and friend than Patty. She will live forever in our memories.
