Patricia Ann (DeJackmo) D’Agati passed away suddenly on September 5, 2017. Pat was born in Lyndhurst, New Jersey on February 18, 1940 to Salvatore and Mary (Banko) DeJackmo.
She married the love of her life on May 5, 1962. They were married for 50 wonderful years until Vince’s passing in May of 2012.
Pat was a devoted Mom and much adored Grandmother. She raised her 4 children in Old Tappan, New Jersey and was extremely proud of her 6 grandchildren.
Pat will be remembered most for her love of family, friends, golf and entertaining. She and her husband Vince loved to cook and entertain for anyone who was willing to stop by. Holidays were always big events and she decorated the house for every holiday imaginable. The legacy she leaves behind is her unyielding commitment to her family. She never missed an event her children were involved in and she did the same, for as long as she could, with her grandchildren as well. Additionally, Pat worked as an Administrative Assistant in the Advertising Department at Toys R Us for many years after her children were grown, and she decorated the office for every holiday there as well!
Pat and Vince spent their retirement years enjoying life by playing golf and actively involving themselves in many social activities at a retirement community in Toms River, New Jersey. She spent her last two years under the loving care of the staff at the Care One at the Cupola in Paramus, New Jersey.
Pat will be deeply missed by the children Lisa (Ricky) Geerhart, John (Annmarie) D’Agati, Paul (Charlene) D’Agati, Amy (Mike) Luby and her grandchildren Anthony (Laura) Catena, Tyler D’Agati, Kaitlyn Luby, Connor D’Agati, Avery D’Agati and Ryan Luby. She is also survived by her sisters Margaret (Gary) Naiman, Linda (Billy) Blemlek, Nanci (Max) McGuire, brother in law Charles (Mary Jane) D’Agati and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
