Patricia Marie Andreone

 

Patricia “Patti” Marie Andreone, precious Wife, Mother, Grandmother (Mimi), Sister, Aunt, and Friend, went home to be with our Lord and Savior on September 13, 2024.Born in San Diego, California in 1944, she was raised in Whitesboro, New York with her parents Anthony and Mary Jane Arcuri and sisters Carol and Joice. After marrying her soul mate David “Dave” Andreone in 1964 they moved to Orlando, Florida in 1965 to begin their new life, starting a successful business and raising three daughters, Denise, Lorie, and Lisa.

Patti was a force to be reckoned with. She and Dave were extremely involved in several churches, leading music and children’s programs all around the Orlando area. Additionally, she was co-founder of several singing groups including The Young Floridians, Living Circle, and The Fellowship Singers, Fellowship, among others. These groups traveled the globe sharing the love of Jesus with thousands.

An active volunteer in the Orlando area, Patti served at several homeless shelters, The Salvation Army, Youth for Christ, her children’s schools, just to name a few. Known for her amazing cooking, she was famous for showing up unannounced with a delicious Italian meal, her famous Italian Wedding Soup, and her husband’s favorite Italian Birthday cake.  Anything she made was delicious, memorable, and made with love.

When her husband Dave died suddenly on October 26, 2010, Patti was led to begin a widow’s group entitled “On Bended Knee” with her church, Embrace at Monteverde. Through this ministry she helped hundreds of other widows in the Lake County area through a tailored Sunday School class, extracurricular activities, summer symposiums, friendship, love and support.

She adored her grandchildren, as well as her great granddaughter. She would do anything for them and always kept them at the forefront of her life.

Patti is survived by her sister Joice Corridori, her Brother-In-Law Edward Corridori, daughters Denise Andreone-King, Lorie Monroe, Lisa Andreone, grandchildren Mark King, Jacob King, Macy Monroe, London Andreone, and great granddaughter Abigail King as well as countless loving nieces, nephews, family members and friends.

A celebration of her amazing and profound life is planned for October 17, 2024, at Embrace Church of Montverde, 17409 Eighth Street, Montverde FL 34756. Visitation will begin at 1:00 PM with a service to follow at 2:00 PM.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Embrace Church of Monteverde to help with all of the ministries that Patti was dedicated to and passionate about.
