She carried the love of Christ into every life she touched.

Patricia “Pat” A. Caggiano, age 85, was born October 23, 1940, in Newark, New Jersey, and raised in Kearny, New Jersey, where she graduated from Kearny High School.

She began her career at Mutual Benefit Life Insurance in Newark and later changed careers and worked in investments, showing strength and courage to begin again.

In 1987, she moved to Nutley, New Jersey, where she made her home in a small condominium she loved. She put down roots there, made many friends, built a full social life, and found real happiness in the community.

She is survived by her son, William F. Brown, and daughter-in-law, Laurena Brown, of Auburndale, Florida; her daughter, Patricia A. Brown, of Camp Hill, Pennsylvania; her grandchildren, Bethany, Ryan, Stephanie, and Jessica; her great-grandchildren, Travis, Savannah, Kelsey, Ayden, Jaxson, and Scarlett.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Josephine Caggiano; her sister, Clair Sutton; and her beloved grandson, Aaron.

Pat loved Jesus, was saved by His grace, and followed Him with a faithful heart. She was proud of her Italian heritage, loyal to the people she loved, and known for her warmth and kindness. She never met a stranger, loved being with people, and brought joy into every room. She was a dear friend to Linda and Janet and to many others. Her presence will be missed greatly by all who love her.
