Patricia "Patti" Ann (Nehi) Tate, age 70, passed away peacefully in her home on Thursday, November 9, 2023, to join her late husband, Paul "Egghead" K. Tate, in their eternal heavenly beach vacation. She was born in Brownsville, PA on April 18, 1953, to parents Joseph and Helen (Furman) Nehi, who preceded her in passing.
She is survived by her sister Diane (Nehi) Lewis (Jim), her devoted son, Paul "PJ" Tate (Kelsey), and her daughter Lauren (Tate) Laurita (Jerry). Patti enjoyed being a loving "Gigi" to grandchildren Kaylee "Beans" Tate, Valen Tate, and loyal grand-dog Lupo.
She treasured time with her husband's family, Mike and Betty Yankopovich, of Ohio, as well as countless friends whom she considered family. Patti enjoyed beaches and suntans, biker nights, campfires, music trivia, as well as her garden and veranda, where she loved to watch the sun set. Patti easily made friends out of strangers and will be greatly missed by many.
Friends will be received from 4 to 8 p.m. on Sunday, November 12, 2023, in the KISH-FABRY FUNERAL HOME, INC., Republic, where a blessing will be held on Monday November 13 at 10 a.m. with Father Anthony Cortado, as celebrant. Interment follows in Lafayette Memorial Park, Brier Hill.
