Patricia A. Czarnecki

Patricia Ann (Kropski) Czarnecki, of North Royalton, OH, passed away peacefully on September 19, 2025, at age 90. Patricia was preceded in death by her parents, John and Helen (nee Bonczyk); her beloved husband of 38 years, Leo; her brother, Raymond, and sister-in-law Theresa (nee Augustyniak) and niece, Lenore; and her brother, Richard, and sister-in-law, Dorothy. She is survived by her three children, Leonard (Cynthia), Ron, and Lynn (Dale); her nephews, John (Erin) and Tom (Laurel); and her cherished grandchildren and great grandchildren. 

While still a young child of 5, Patricia was given a baby carriage with a doll in it and exclaimed to her mother that she wanted a real baby. Patricia’s dreams of a baby came true with the birth of her three children and her treasured grandchildren.

Patricia graduated from Bishop McMahon High School in Buffalo, New York. In her lifetime, Patsy, as she was tenderly called, was defined by her love, dedication, and devotion to her husband, her family, her friends, and her faith. She loved spending time around the kitchen table talking with family and friends and enjoying a meal or a cup of coffee. She took pride in her home and enjoyed baking and preparing delicious meals to share with guests she welcomed into her home. She enjoyed teaching crafts, simple cooking, and baking recipes to her grandchildren. As Patricia raised her 3 children, she encouraged them to pursue their goals and supported their endeavors in any way she could. She prayed the rosary daily and participated in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal movement. She was proud to carry a Holy Spirit banner during one Charismatic Mass. Easter was her favorite holiday, and Holy Week was sacred to her. Patricia lived her faith by volunteering at her church, and with numerous faith-based groups and organizations such as The Ladie's Guild, St. Augustine Hunger Center, and The West Side Catholic Center. In lieu of flowers, if desired, donations can be made to The Alzheimer's Association 3 Summit Park Drive #550 Independence, Oh 44131 alz.org/cleveland.
