“Pat”, as she was known, grew up in West Paterson, known today as Woodland Park, with the her sisters and brothers. She resided in Pompton Lakes for fifty years.

Pat met her husband, Patrick Nestico and they married in 1957.

After retirement, Pat lived a full and busy life spending time on Cape Cod with her granddaughters, taking long rides into the country and, loving the lights on Broadway where she loved checking off all the plays she had the privilege of seeing.
