Patricia Louise Shannon passed away peacefully at her home May 17, 2018.
Originally from Chicago, Patricia moved with her husband, Thomas, to Amelia Island, where they enjoyed many years together before his death. She was also preceded in death by her brother, Jack (Carol) Purcell. Patricia lived a life of laughter and joy surrounded by a close circle of loving family and friends. She had a passion for music and the arts, excelling at playing the piano and spending hours painting. She was an avid golfer and tennis player and loved to travel the world and spend as much time as possible in nature.
Patricia is survived by her sister, Jean (Fred) Skemp; her brother, Bill (Laverne) Purcell; her four daughters, Patty (Rob) LaBarge, Moira (Jim) Minta, Rosemarie (Jeff) Knoll, and Peggy (Tony) Albachiara; eight grandchildren, Joey (Megan) Minta, Tommy (Lauren) Minta, Molly (Matt) Ireton, Tim (Sarah) LaBarge, Colleen (Patrick) Mac Carthaigh, Anne Marie Albachiara, Kristine Albachiara, and Nicole Albachiara; and three great-grandchildren, Ryan LaBarge, Everett Minta, and Hannah Ireton.
