Obituary of Patricia (Pattie) Duffy

My mom, Patricia "Pattie" Duffy, 67, of Bridgewater, Virginia passed away on Tuesday, May 15, 2018. She was born in Newark, NJ on December 8, 1950. Her family moved to North Plainfield when she was in middle school. She graduated Somerset County College as an LPN. She worked at Overlook Hospital where she enjoyed the ICU Department. She said getting people healthy again was like a puzzle that she enjoyed figuring out. Pattie enjoyed watching church on TV and studying her bible. Prior to being homebound, she enjoyed her quilting group in New Jersey. Pattie LOVED spending time with her granddaughters. She was the cool Mima who took selfies and Snapchat photos with them. She had many friends, was loving to many people and tried to lift them up in spirit. She utilized her nursing skills until the day the Lord called her home. She is survived by her daughter Lisa, a son and four grandchildren, two sisters, Margaret (Peggy) Martina and Rose Ann Koperstynski as well as one brother Joe Duffy. She was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond and Margaret Virginia Duffy, and two siblings, Raymond Duffy and Kathleen Bottone. She was one of six siblings. Funeral services will be at Hillside Cemetery in Scotch Plains, NJ this Friday, June 15, 2018, at 3:00 pm. Saturday morning there will be a Mass at St. Joseph's Church at 9:30 am followed by a small reception downstairs. Everyone is invited to reminisce and celebrate Patty's life.
