She was born in Beaver Falls on February 2nd, 1940, the daughter of the late Emil and Mary (Terek) Slovak. Patricia was a loving and devoted woman whose life was filled with family, cherished memories, and the simple joys that made each day special. She will be remembered for her kind heart, the love she shared with those around her, and the special place she held in the hearts of her family.
