Patricia V. Watson “Pat” (nee Roche) age 79 of Packanack Lake area in Wayne passed into life eternal on Saturday, July 7, 2012 at home. Her passing was quiet and peaceful while receiving the love of her family who were at her bedside.
She was born in Queens, New York and had lived there as well as Manhattan and the Bronx . Pat also enjoyed summers as a young girl with her Aunt Charlotte and Uncle Jack at their cottage in Lake Walkill, N.J.
Pat received her formal education at Saint Simon Stock School in the Bronx and graduated from high school with the Class of 1950.
She met James Watson Jr. at a social gathering and they soon fell in love. They married on September 15, 1953. They had three sons together. Tragedy impacted their marriage when Jim, traveling to work in New York City by bus, was stricken with a heart attack and died at the age of forty.
They had three sons who were ages three to ten years at his passing. She set out to raise those boys by herself with dedication, and the help of friends and family, into their adult years.
Pat was gifted with a regal personality that caused others to admire and enjoy her presence. Her natural ways made her a very loving mother, friend, and an admired and respected colleague at work. It would be truthful to describe her demeanor as being a sophisticated, well organized professional.
She was predeceased by her husband James Watson Jr. in 1967 and her only sister Eugenia DelColle in 2011. After the untimely death of her husband Pat returned to work as the school librarian at Immaculate Heart of Mary School in Wayne and later as a confidential secretary for the Wayne Board of Education. She finally retired from work in 1999.
Surviving to mourn the loss of her presence in their lives are three sons, Brian Watson and his wife Jo-Ann of Weehawken, Timothy Watson of Wayne, and Christopher Watson and his wife Kathryn of Tinton Falls.
