Patricia Ann Popolillo, 66, of Lake Huntington, NY passed away after a short battle with cancer. She was a fighter until her last breath. She has joined her beloved parents in their eternal home.

Patti enjoyed many things. Among these was her deep love of the lake where she spent her teen years, and later made a beautiful home with her family. Another favorite was her yearly family vacations to Wildwood, NJ, where she loved to dip her feet in the ocean.

She is predeceased by her parents Ann (Queenie) Ritz and George Ritz. Patti is survived by her loving husband of 42 years, Mike, and her twin sons Michael (Alesha) and Brian (Amanda). Her four grandchildren, Jayden, Tyler, Jordan and Ava, were her pride and joy. Her strength and humor will live on in their legacy. She is also survived by her brother George Jr. (Patty) and her sister Kathy (Glenn), along with many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Visitation will be held on Friday, April 12, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Stewart-Murphy Funeral Home, 34 Upper Main St., Callicoon, NY.
