Patricia Jo Staffieri (Fryday), 80, of Pennsville, passed away peacefully on October 2, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family.

Born in 1944 to Florence (McCormick) and William Fryday, Pat grew up in Penns Grove and graduated with the Penns Grove High School Class of 1962. In 1965, she married the love of her life, Donald Staffieri. Together, they began their journey in Waverly, Iowa, during Don's military service before returning home to Pennsville, where they built a life filled with love, laughter, and family.

Pat attended Salem Community College and held positions at R. B. Tire, GBM Industries, Staffieri Insurance Agency, and the Pennsville School District. No matter where she worked, Pat's kindness, humor, and genuine care for others shone through.

Pat was the heart of her family—steadfast in love, generous in spirit, and always there with a warm smile or a quick-witted joke. She and Don recently celebrated 60 beautiful years of marriage on September 4th, a milestone that reflected their enduring devotion to one another. She leaves behind her daughter and son-in-law, Diana (Dee Dee) and George (Joey) Morris; her treasured grandchildren, Taylor (Jake), Ryan, and Megan; and her precious great-grandchildren, Reed and Remi, who brought her endless joy.

Pat's joyful spirit shone through in her love of laughter and playful pranks shared with her closest friends. She treasured trips to her camper in Cape May and visits to the casinos, and found happiness in time spent with family. Over the years, Pat shared a deep affection for her pets, and her loyal shi-poo, Miss Casey, will especially feel her absence.

Pat's love was a gift that will continue to shine through her family and all who knew her.

Service and burial will take place at Lawnside Cemetery on Wednesday, October 8th at 10:00 am.
