Obituary of Patricia Spitale It is with great sadness that the family of Patricia “Patty” Spitale announce her unexpected passing on September 17, 2018 at UPMC Hamot while surrounded by her family. Patty was born on February 3, 1954 beloved daughter of Edward and Mary Nowosielski Wilberg of Westfield, NY. She was a lifetime resident of Chautauqua County.
She touched and enhanced the lives of many during her short stay here on earth. She was well known for the kindness and respect she expressed to everyone she encountered. Patty’s selfless desire to help others was reflected in her life on a daily basis and was truly inspirational.
She was naturally magnetic not only to people but also to animals. Her outgoing personality and warmth would light up a room. She was encouraging and supportive to others and would help anyone in any situation without judgment.
Her strength came from her deep faith and the love of her family and close friends who were her driving force and the sunshine of her life. Patty truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures like fishing with her grandchildren, finding bargains at garage sales, gardening, bird watching, her bible study group, and her extensive volunteer work. She was adventurous and was always up for trying new things.
She will most certainly be remembered for being the life of the party and her fantastic sense of humor! Patty was retired from Doyle Security and Phillips Lifeline. During her working years, she touched the lives of countless senior citizens.
She was a member of Koinonia, and board member at Jamestown Meals on Wheels as well as The Chautauqua Blind Association. Patty continued her charitable donations even after her passing, as she gave the gift of organs and tissue through C.O.R.E in the spirit of helping others.
