Patricia (Patti) JoAnne Froese Simoncini went home to her Lord December 4th after a brief stay at Sacred Heart Hospice in Dunmore. Her devoted and loving husband of 35 years is Samual Simoncini who remained at her side throughout all her illnesses.

Preceding her in death are her parents Frank and Joan Derrig Froese, brother Michael Frances Froese and a nephew Jacky Froese.

Born and raised in Dunmore, she was a graduate of Dunmore High School and she resided in Dunmore for nearly all her life.

Patti received the most joy and happiness from being with her son Patrick and her granddaughter Gianna. Her love and pride in them was immeasurable and she would always work them into her conversations.

Patti fought many medical battles in her life from birth onward, but she persevered and even became the Dunmore Missy League All-Time Home Run Champion in her youth.

She battled each illness with conviction and dogged determination. She went to heaven like a warrior going home, her final battle having been fought, she has earned her peace.
