Patricia Ann Paride Kay, known affectionately as Trisha or Pat, peacefully passed away at home, Thursday morning, December 26, 2024, at the age of 71. She was born on November 8, 1953, in Suffern, NY, to parents Louis A Paride and Mona Kelly Paride, and spent her final years in Avoca, PA. Patricia devoted 44 years of her life to nursing, caring for countless patients and making a significant impact on the lives of those she served. 
After enduring the heartache of losing her husband Thomas R. Kay from New City, NY many years ago—a loss that left a profound impact on her life—Patricia has now been reunited with him after more than two decades apart. Their bond transcended time itself; together they created a legacy filled with laughter and love that continues through their three children: Laurie Sanford-Pitt, wife to Christopher H. Pitt; Thomas A. Kay, husband to Dana Benassutti-Kay; and Alicia Kay, wife to Christopher S. Hitzel. Patricia found her greatest joy in being with her children and was proud of the families they built. In addition to her family, Patricia was a loyal companion to her beloved dog, Wookie. She loved reading, indulging in Italian cuisine, and cheering on her favorite football team, the NY Giants. Patricia is survived by her siblings, Theresa Paride, Donna Paride Piner and husband Brad Piner, and Ralph Paride, as well as a host of loving family members and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, Thomas R. Kay, her little sister, Mary Lou and sister-in-law Eileen Paride. The family wishes to extend heartfelt gratitude to Hospice of the Sacred Heart for their compassionate care during this challenging time. Their guidance provided solace as Patricia transitioned into eternal peace among loved ones Patricia leaves behind memories etched forever within our hearts—a testament not just to how she lived but how profoundly she loved those fortunate enough to know her.
