She was born in Orange, New Jersey, the daughter of the late Gene M Smith and Helen Marie Nolan Smith.
Pat was preceded in death by her brothers, Michael Peter Smith and Peter Matthew Smith.
Pat enjoyed reading, cooking and watching her food shows. Her passion was being with her children and grandchildren, when their laughter filled the room, she was happy!
Pat is survived by daughter, Debra Anne Simpson; sons, Clay Otto Simpson, Jr. (Laurie) and Kevin Parker Simpson (Chrissy); grandchildren, Kevin Parker Simpson, Jr, Faith Anne Simpson and Kayla Nicole Simpson; sisters, Margaret Smith Brogle and Catherine Smith Driscoll; and brother, Leo Smith. She also leaves beloved nieces and nephews and her best friend of 67 years, Jo Dupuis.
After retiring from the City of St. Petersburg as a code enforcement officer, Pat lived in Presbyterian Towers.
A big thank you to friends, neighbors and hospice for support during her journey, especially her primary care givers her children and daughter-in-law Laurie.
In lieu of flowers please make a donation to your favorite charity in her name.

What a beautiful lady ๐ we had a lot of good memories. God bless her and the family so sorry for your loss. She will be missed. I had a piece of fish for her and she would make me pineapple upside down cake and trade ๐๐ผ

Precious Patti,
Although I didn’t see Patti often, I always felt the glow of her loving spirit when we met.
My admiration increased immensely in the way she handled her challenging illness.
My comforting hugs to her family.
