She lived in Fairfield for many years and enjoyed her life at the Calu Apartments for almost 15 years. Most recently, Patricia Jane resided in SunnyBrook Assisted Living in Fairfield. Well known by friends and staff as quiet but funny, Patricia Jane always had a good sense of humor and a smile for those around her. She loved nature, especially feeding and watching the birds and squirrels around her apartment and cleaning the birdbaths. Patricia Jane was an accomplished seamstress in that she made all of her own clothes, from fancy dress jackets to pajamas, and hand-stitched animal pictures and small quilts. Reading books and newspapers kept her mind busy, and she enjoyed doing word search puzzles. Patricia Jane belonged to the Presbyterian Church, frequently visiting a church in the neighborhood and meeting with a neighbor to have Bible study. Patricia Jane enjoyed certain meals such as spaghetti and meatballs in the evening with a wine glass full of grape juice and waffles on Saturday and Sunday mornings for breakfast. Once a month she treated herself to a steak dinner at Torino's Pizza and regularly attended community pot lucks. Preceding Patricia Jane in death were her mother, father, and a brother.
