Patricia Kathryn Koch, 64, passed peacefully after a courageous battle with colon cancer. She was born March 17 ^th , 1959, on St Patrick's Day in Jersey City, to Kathyrn and Joseph, the 3 ^rd of 6 children. She lived in her hometown of Wood-Ridge for many years before meeting her husband, Dave, through friends. They married on the Third of July 1992 and later purchased a home in Ramsey where they raised their son Connor – their pride and joy.

Patty was a girly girl who became the ultimate boy mom. She was heavily involved in Connor's sports and activities as a fan and a loving mother. She enjoyed the Father's Day Camping trips with the family, summer vacations to LBI, and traveling with Dave and Connor to all the Major League stadiums in their quest to hit them all. She was able to hold her own as a true blue Giant fan in the household of Tom Brady-Patriot aficionados. She was also an avid Yankees fan and enjoyed watching Yankees games with Connor.

Patty worked as an administrator, first at Paine Webber and then at UBS in Weehawken. Later in life, she worked closer to home at Advantage Sales and Marketing. After her mom passed, Patty assumed the role of the family matriarch, hosting the family for holidays and get-togethers. Her hospitality and cooking rivaled her mom's.

Patty is survived by her loving husband, Dave, and son, Connor; siblings Ellen, Joe (Denise), Nancy (Joe), and Mark (Cathy), along with many loved nieces and nephews who cherished her in their lives. She was predeceased by her parents, Kathyrn and Joseph, brother Michael, and Brother-in-law Charlie.
