Patricia Trezza
MODOC, S.C. - Patricia Trezza, age 68, passed away unexpectedly and tragically on June 30, 2023. Patty was a loving and thoughtful individual, known for her kindness and dedication to her family. Despite medical disabilities that affected her mobility, Patty's greatest strengths resided in her love for her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Patty was born in Montclair, NJ on September 23, 1954. She grew up in Wayne, NJ. She attended Wayne Hills High School, graduating in 1972. She furthered her education at the Katharine Gibbs School, earning an associate's degree in administrative support.
In her career, Patty held various positions that showcased her versatility and dedication. She started as an Executive Secretary at Revlon Corp. in Edison, NJ, from 1974 to 1976. She then transitioned to become an Operating Room Technician in Morgantown, WV, from 1976 to 1979. While adapting to having our children and a move to SC, Patty became a licensed cosmetologist in Aiken, SC, from 1979 to 1981. An auto accident contributed to disabilities soon after.
Outside of her professional life, Patty held a deep love for animals and often expressed her desire to become a nurse or veterinarian. She found solace and joy in caring for all creatures.
Patricia leaves behind her beloved husband, William (Bill) Trezza, whom she married after growing up as neighbors. She is also survived by her son, Jason Trezza of Cabot, AR, and her daughter, Amy Marshall of Marietta, GA. Patty's father, Lee Warren Skidmore of Stuart, FL, also mourns her loss. Her nephew, David Demback of Miltown, NJ was close with her. She was preceded in death by her mother, Ann Lee Skidmore, and her sister, Bonnie Jean (Skidmore) Demback. Patty will be fondly remembered by her many loving grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and a few very close friends.
A memorial celebration of Patty's life will be held in the future near her father's home in Stuart, Florida. Details of the service will be announced at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that contributions in Patty's memory be made to any local access Food Pantry. This gesture will honor her spirit of kindness and generosity.
