Patricia Palumbo

PATRICIA PALUMBO (nee Horneck) age 94, beloved wife of the late Clinton A.; loving mother of Jeff Paris (wife Malu), Gregory (deceased), Judy Stropki (Todd Janusz), Mick, Mary Lou Plunkett (husband Tom), twins Joni Weigel (husband Howard) and Donald; devoted grandmother of Tommy Plunkett (wife Lindsey), Kevin Stropki (wife Annmarie) Vincent Stropki (wife Alyssa), Shawna Behra (husband Joe), Clinton Weigel (wife Kaleigh) and great-grandchildren James, Addison, Keegan, Hailey, Alex, Raelynn, Kasey, Riley, Elliott and Cole; cherished daughter of the late Peter and Mildred (nee Henry) Horneck; dearest sister of the late Donald and James Horneck (wife Jackie).

Patricia was born in Cleveland on December 29, 1931. She and Clinton raised seven children, and she relished being a homemaker. She loved spending time doting on all her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She enjoyed ceramics and camping and her social nature and sense of humor made her the perfect person to take the lead and organize neighborhood block parties.

After raising children Patricia and Clinton moved to Sarasota, Florida to fulfill their honeymoon wish. Here, they spent many years enjoying the sunshine and each other's company. Eventually, they moved back to Cleveland to spend their remaining years surrounded by their family.

Patricia was a strong willed and resolute woman, deeply devoted to her faith and family and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
