Patricia Elia

Born in Brooklyn, New York, to Frank and Regina (nee Decker) Coughlin.  She grew up in Northport, New York, and settled in Wanaque, New Jersey, forty-two years ago to raise her family.

She enjoyed golf, gardening, embraced life and new experiences, but loved nothing more than being with her family and cherished grandchildren.

For over twenty years she was a secretary at Lakeland Regional High School.

She is survived by her husband Frank; her son Michael and wife Mary Ellen; her daughters, Jennifer Ledesma and Megan Purdue and husband Christopher.  Her siblings Kathleen Voigt and husband Paul, Ellen Coughlin and Kelly Coughlin; grandchildren Nicholas, Ireland, Bridget, Sophia, Daniel and Matthew.

No local services are planned.
