Patricia G. Manning, age 69 of Paterson, died peacefully on Friday, January 9, 2015 in Brick, NJ. Raised in New Milford, Patricia graduated from New Milford High School with the class of 1963. She’s been a Paterson resident for the past twenty years.
Patricia worked briefly as a secretary in the 1960’s before becoming a full-time mom and raising her two children. In 1983, she began a career with Anchor Savings Bank and remained with the bank through several acquisitions, working there into the 1990’s. More recently, she had been working as a secretary with Joseph Cavalieri Construction in Paterson, a job she enjoyed very much before her health required her to retire in 2012.
Patricia always liked to have fun. In 1977, she bought a red Corvette and loved to drive around in it. That car suited her personality to a “T”. She never left the house without her hair in perfect order and her long, beautiful nails looking like she just left the salon. She enjoyed summers at the shore, in Toms River, where she would go crabbing with her family, ride wave runners on the Bay, and simply relax. Her granddaughters always held a special place in her heart and she made them each feel as though they were her favorite, although she truly loved them all beyond any kind of measure. Patricia loved her animals too, and she always had a dog and usually a few cats. She cared so much for her animals that she crafted homemade car seats to keep them safe before it was ever considered by most people. She needed to be sure they were safe at all times, especially in the car. Cancun, Mexico was her favorite place to vacation and for the most part, the ONLY place she visited. She had been there several times and enjoyed it so much that she really didn’t want to go anyplace else.
Patricia has shared a wonderful and loving relationship with Ralph Vitale of Silverton, NJ, since they met at Anchor Savings Bank. They struck up a relationship that turned into a thirty year love affair. They simply adore each other and have made many great memories together over the years. Ralph lovingly provided great care to Patricia during her health struggles in recent months. He will always be her ‘cupcake’, and she will always be his ‘twinkie’.
Patricia is survived by her beloved Ralph Vitale of Silverton, two children; Shannan Thomas of Wayne and Scott Manning of Pompton Lakes, three grandchildren; Codie and Carson Thomas of Wayne, and Skylar Manning of Pompton Lakes, one sister; Kathy Blando of North Carolina, and by Ralph’s daughter; Lisa Vivino of Verona. Patricia was predeceased by her parents; Raymond and Gloria Baier in 2012.
