Obituary of Deborah Ann Patterson

Deborah Ann Patterson 
(nee Vranich)

Deborah Ann Patterson, of Joliet, passed away at the age of 65 on Monday, October 21, 2019 at Presence St. Joseph Medical Center. Debbie was born on February 22, 1954, the daughter of the late Edward Joseph and Mary Lou “Dolly” (nee Fazio) Vranich. She grew up in Plainfield and was a graduate of Plainfield High School, Class of 1972.  

Debbie held numerous administrative positions throughout her career, but it was the compassion that she had that made her the best longtime caregiver to both of her parents.  She was an amazing cook and picked up her father’s wicked sense of humor that could make a sailor blush! Debbie was never at a loss for words and has been known to speak her mind, even when not asked.  

Spending time with her family and those she loved is something that meant the world to Debbie.  But the time spent with her niece Samantha however, was what she treasured the most.

Debbie is survived by her siblings, Sandra Dumont, Pamela (Donald) McKinney, Joseph Vranich, James (Nancy) Vranich; nieces, Heather (the late Douglas) Pittman, Samatha (Peter) Duvenek, and Megan Vranich; and nephews, David (Randene) McKinney and Michael (Shianna) McKinney.  Several cousins, great nieces and nephews also survive.
