Obituary of Patricia Anne Johnston


Our dear mother Patricia Johnston sadly passed away on August 9, 2022, at the age of 91. Pat was
married to her first love Frank Villani for 20 years and her longtime loving husband Robert (Bob)
Johnston for 21 years who are both predeceased. Pat and Bob shared many wonderful memories as
they traveled the world together. We were all very fortunate to blend two wonderful families with Bob’s
surviving children Ken and Patty Johnston, Dan and Sue Johnston, Patrick and Lisa Johnston, and Cindy
and Bob Valade along with predeceased Bob Jr and surviving Norma. She was a wonderful mother who
raised and provided for her 6 surviving children and their significant others, Julie Villani and Tim Sullivan,
Lucy and Harry Aretz, Joanne Wilson and Jay Globerson, Bob Villani, Gina Reaume and Tony Mann, and
Peter and Danielle Villani. She also is survived by 23 Grandchildren and 12 Great Grandchildren. Mom
taught us all how to overcome life’s obstacles by example, with a never give up attitude combined with
significant efforts to put food on the table even when life throws you a curveball. She leaves behind a
very close family that embody her drive and relish their time together. Mom was surrounded by love
and affection throughout her life and during the last few years of her life as she was surrounded by her 4
wonderful daughters and a true angel Alina who cared for her every whim. She was predeceased by Judy
and Dick Jarvis and John and Marcy Rathsburg and is survived by her brothers  and sister in laws Jerry and Bonnie, Greg
and Rene, Mike and Debbie, Bill and Sherry Rathsuburg and her sisters and their spouses  Mary (sis) and Bill Trampus, Sue
and Larry Banas and Eileen and predeceased Ken Banchoff.
