Patricia Ann Yee, of Alsace Township, passed away Wednesday, October 1, 2025, at her residence surrounded by her loving family.
She was the widow of Joseph Yee Jr. who passed away January 28, 2021.

Patricia was a 1955 graduate of Reading High School. During her working years she was employed by Stokesay Castle & Knight’s pub where she worked catering events.
In Patricia’s free time she loved tending to her garden, playing Uno, reading books, and bird watching, specifically cardinals and bluebirds. Family meant the world to her. Patricia's favorite moments in life were being able to cook family meals and having all her loved ones in the same place. Spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren is what brought her true happiness.
Her faith in God was strong. Patricia went home to her savior Jesus Christ where she is now at peace.
