Patricia Marie Hussey-White, 63, of New Canaan, passed away peacefully on January 26, 2024 at Mt. Sinai Hospital after battling a long illness surrounded by family.
Patricia is survived by husband David White, daughter Katherine White; sister Laurie (John) Novak; aunts Janet DaSilva, Christine Hussey, Julie Hussey, Vera Oliver as well as a large extended family. She was preceded in death by her parents Martin and Winifred (Cromwell) Hussey.
Patricia (Patti) was born in Norwalk and had a deep affection for her hometown, as a native New Canaanite. Above all, spending time with family and friends was most important to Patti. Her love of gardening, cooking, crafting and decorating were just a few of her passions and she generously shared the results of her talents with many. Patti retired after many years of service as a Case Manager for the State of CT’s Department of Developmental Services. While many of Patti’s interests kept her close to home, she was also an avid fan of Bruce Springsteen, reminiscing with her lifelong friends, vacations to Chatham, MA, antiquing trips to Stormville, NY and enjoying the sunshine by the pool.
Patti received much love, strength and support from her two closest friends Karin Bochicchio and Amy Reilly as well as from all her cousins, nieces and nephew. Patti cherished her daughter Katie, and in her final thoughts, she shared her pride in her daughter and sincere gratitude, love and thanks to family and friends. While we mourn her loss, we take comfort in knowing she is at peace.
Calling hours are being held on January 30, 2025, from 4-7 pm at Hoyt’s Funeral Home 199 Main St, New Canaan, CT 06840. A mass will be celebrated at St. Aloysius on January 31, 2025, at 12:30.
