In Loving Memory of Patricia A. Howard

Patricia A. Howard (nee Turek), aged 89, passed away peacefully on July 5, 2026. Born on October 23, 1936, Patricia lived a life filled with devotion to her family and a deep, enduring love for her late husband, Robert W. Howard, with whom she is now reunited in endless love. She was also preceded in death by her beloved parents, Bruno and Floris Turek.

Patricia’s legacy lives on through the family she adored. She is survived by her brother, Richard Turek; her loving daughters, Kelly Bennett (Bryan Rankins) and Kim Cicchese; and her son-in-law, David Bennett. She was a proud and cherished grandmother to her four granddaughters, Alison Bennett, Alicia Cicchese, Mia Cicchese, and Celia Cicchese, who brought immense joy to her life. Whenever they walked out the door, her favorite saying was always a constant reminder: “Be sweet.”

Her warmth, kindness, and unwavering love for her family and friends will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Monsignor Michael Turek will be officiating a private Mass for the family
