Mrs. Patricia "Patti" McCarthy

In Loving Memory of Patricia "Patti" McCarthy (1956-2023) It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Patricia "Patti" McCarthy, a loving mother, devoted wife, and cherished member of her community. Patti's journey began on September 22, 1956 and came to a peaceful end on June 3, 2023. Her legacy of love, compassion, and artistic talent will forever be etched in our hearts. Patti was a dedicated mother to her five children, Eric, Bridgette, Nathan, Gil, and Darby, and the adoring grandmother of thirteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Her love and commitment to her family knew no bounds, and she took great joy in nurturing and supporting each and every one of them. As an artist, Patti's creativity knew no bounds, particularly when it came to ceramics and ceramic crafting. She was truly a master of her craft, garnering numerous awards and recognition for her exceptional work. Her artistic abilities were unrivaled, and she continuously pushed the boundaries of her talent. Patti's expertise was sought after by many, and she generously shared her knowledge as the President of the KARS Park Ceramic Club for over a decade. She also served as the Secretary of the Ceramic Guild, where she became a trusted resource for both new techniques and the revival of older, "lost" methods. Patti's commitment to service extended beyond the world of ceramics. She was an active member of the American Legion Veterans Organization, where she held several esteemed positions. Originally, she served as President of the American Legion Woman’s Auxiliary, Unit 332 at Kennedy Space Center. As Patti grew in the organization she served as the Past President of the 40&8 Le Femme Local Chapter 954, and her leadership qualities led her to be elected State/Grand President three times for Le Femme in Florida. She also held the esteemed position of National Vice Commander of 40 & 8 Le Femme. Patti's dedication to her fellow veterans and her tireless efforts to support their needs will forever be remembered. Patti's impact on her community was far-reaching. She selflessly devoted her time and energy to various causes, including her involvement as a Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Girl Scout leader. She actively participated in local schools, outreach programs, and was always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. She was also a member of the local Red Hat Society. Patti's boundless enthusiasm and unwavering commitment to making her neighborhood a better place left an indelible mark on all those who were fortunate enough to know her. On June 3, 2023, Patti passed away due to medical complications. In accordance with her wishes, she will be cremated. A celebration of Patti's remarkable life will be held in the coming weeks, and details will be provided once they are organized. We understand the profound impact Patti had on the lives of so many, and we want to ensure that those who wish to attend have ample time to plan and pay their respects. Patricia "Patti" McCarthy will be deeply missed by her beloved husband of 49 years, Russell "Mac" McCarthy, her older sister, Jackie Buffington, her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and a multitude of friends, colleagues, and community members. Her infectious spirit, kind heart, and artistic talents will forever be cherished. As we reflect on her extraordinary life, let us carry forward her legacy of love, generosity, and dedication to others. Rest in peace, dear Patti. May your creative spirit continue to inspire us all.
