Patricia’s Obituary Patricia (Pat or Patsy) Ann Przeracki (nee Goe), 84, of Aurora, passed away on Sunday evening, February 10, 2019 at home with her loving husband and loyal caregiver, Walter, at her side. Pat was born on April 5, 1934 to Howard and Margaret (nee Ryan) Goe in Cleveland, Ohio. Pat was a waitress at Kenny Kings restaurant on 131st and Broadway in 1960 when she met her soul mate Walter J. Przeracki, Jr. A loving ceremony united Pat and Walter (Wally) on August 4, 1962 at the Cleveland City Hall with good friends Vivian and Bill at their side.
Pat and Wally spent 58 years together where they enjoyed getting dressed up to go dancing or out to dinner with friends prior to having children. Spending time raising a family, cooking, shopping, and enjoying life with their grandchildren was Pat’s life purpose. After Pat and Wally’s children were old enough, Pat starting working outside of the home as a Machine Operator at Erico Products for over 20 years where she met her dearest friend, Barbra.
Every evening, Pat made sure to have a family dinner prepared. Pat truly loved to cook and bake as evident from her large and intensive collection of cookbooks. Pat would make multiple apple pies to give when visiting her children’s families.
Pat would also cook meals for Wally’s co-workers who were amazed at how good of a cook his wife was. Wally had a lot of pride in Pat’s cooking. When Pat and Wally’s children were grown and lived outside of their home, Pat enjoyed Wally’s pigeon racing hobby which afforded them the opportunity to travel and cruise to Hawaii, Alaska, Cabo San Lucas, and the southern Caribbean through the Panama Canal.
They also spent time traveling by bus with their “senior” group friends to Graceland, Las Vegas, New York City, Canada (to see the Phantom of the Opera). There were also many “day” trips with this group. Pat always had time for her grandchildren and loved them more than life itself.
She would make sure her grandchildren were active by visiting The Aurora Farms Outlet to feed the ducks, visiting different playgrounds, riding bikes, going to museums, shopping, and taking them swimming. Pat and Wally loved their “special time” with Sean, Erin, Heather, and Melanie. As their grandchildren grew, Pat and Wally would continue traveling to their sporting events even all the way to Wooster.
Pat is survived by her loving husband of 56 years, Wally. Her children: Robyn, Karen (Dan) Lacey, Walter III/Chip, and Autumn (James/Chip) Richmond; her grandchildren, Sean and Erin Lacey and Heather and Melanie Richmond. Family will receive friends on Friday, February 15, 2019 from 10am-1130am with a memorial service beginning at 11:30am at Blessing-Hine Funeral Home, 8592 Darrow Road Twinsburg.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in Pat’s name to be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital 501 St Jude Place Memphis, TN. 38105. 1-800-805-5856.
