Patricia A. Slate

Patricia A. Slate, 85 of Attica NY died respectfully in her home September 19, 2017 with family at her side. She was born July 19, 1932 in Detroit Michigan, the daughter of the late Raymond and Myrtle Rector. In addition to her parents, Patricia is also predeceased by a son; Tim Slate; sister Bonnie Sue Piersel.

She became a countryman's wife in 1952, and as her family grew, she filled the roll of wife and mother of 4. Later, she worked for Genesee County Nursing home in Batavia as a Nursing Assistant and retired after 20 years of service in 1984. She then moved with her husband to Branchport, NY where she pursued a short stay at the Canandaigua VA, retiring in 1987.
She was active with the Board of Elections for the town of Italy in Yates County for 6 years. She was passionate for her church, Italy Hill Baptist, and loved gardening and crafts. In 2007, she and her husband downsized and moved to Attica to be closer to their children. It was then, that she shared her beautiful voice in the church choir at Alexander Methodist in Alexander. To share more time with her daughter, with open arms, she found a loving home and family at Alabama Full Gospel in 2013, and continued to serve and love on our Lord, and praise the life and family she had been gifted with. She will be missed, and remembered for her spunk, by those she came in contact with. Many thanks go out to all those who loved and cared for her as we set out on her journey home.
