Patricia (Meade) Lepre

Patricia Lepre - fondly known as Pat, Patsy, Grandmom and GG - passed away on Tuesday evening, March 7, 2023, surrounded by her family and loved ones.

While she was loved by everyone that knew her, to be loved by Pat meant knowing a kind of love that is rarely experienced. She was fiercely loyal, generous with all she had, put others' needs before her own, loved you despite your shortcomings, and often opened her home to help someone in need. If we can learn anything from Pat, it is to love your neighbor as yourself.

Pat became a widow at 47 when her husband of 29 years, Tony, passed suddenly. They had built a home together with four loving children. After his passing, she remained focused on her family - from helping raise her grandchildren to working in the family businesses. 

At the young age of 70, she found love again in her faithful partner, Bob Craig. Whether they were dancing the jitterbug or laughing with friends, Pat was the eternal life of the party.

Pat is survived by her children Tony and wife Patty, Maureen, Christopher and Tommy; grandchildren Lindsay, Shane, Courtney, Amy, Paige, Jamie and Patrick; great-grandsons Anthony and Grayson; daughter-in-law Jane and husband Bud, sister Kathy and husband Bob, and long-time partner, Bob Craig.

Her family grieves her loss, but they take comfort in knowing that Pat and Tony are together again, dancing the night away.

Relatives and friends are invited to her Viewing on Tuesday, March 14, 2023 from 10:00 - 11:00 A.M. at Our Lady of Calvary Church, 11024 Knights Road, Philadelphia, PA 19154. Funeral Mass at 11:00 A.M.
