Patricia Ann (Pat) Finch, 84, peacefully passed away on October 23, 2024 in Ventura, California.
Pat was born in Millville, New Jersey on September 29, 1940 to parents Kathryn (Riley) and Frank Mikytuck.
Pat shared a remarkable 61-year marriage with her devoted husband, Donald Finch. They made their home in Vineland, NJ and Cape May, NJ before traveling west and settling in Ventura California, where they raised their family and Pat enjoyed the year-round sunshine and the beautiful California coast.
A loving wife, mother and grandmother, Pat was a lifelong homemaker. Her family was the most important part of her life. Pat had a passion for cooking and was an avid collector of cookbooks and recipes. Talented at crocheting and knitting, she enjoyed studying patterns and creating beautiful blankets, pillows and sweaters. Pat was proud to be a breast cancer survivor.
Pat is survived by her husband, Donald Finch of Ventura, CA; her children, Jon (Sue) Finch of Long Beach, CA, Michelle (John) Gerlitz of Highlands Ranch, CO, Dustin (Allison) Finch of Petaluma, CA; grandchildren Ryan, Joe, Frank, Elissa; sister-in-law Beverly Anderson of Vineland, NJ; and numerous nieces and nephews. She joins in peace those she loved dearly who went before her: her parents and her sister Kathy M. Schock.
