Patricia Dianne Martins, most recently of Cazenovia, went to be with Jesus the morning of May 27, 2019 surrounded by family.

The second of three children, Patty was born in the village of New Berlin, N.Y., on March 16, 1943, to Rachel Lloyd and Hawley Bagg.

Patty graduated from Edmeston Central School, and became an accomplished Registered Nurse having attended Houghton College and graduating from Columbia Presbyterian School of Nursing. She spent many years working as a nurse in various capacities starting in a children’s hospital in New York City and retiring as a claims adjuster from Liberty Mutual insurance Company.

Of all the things Patty loved, from flowers to Angels to her country and a huge family celebration, none compared to the love she had for her family and especially that of her grandchildren.

Surviving are her three children Kimberlie, Valdaniel (Katie) Martins, Heather (Timothy) Ryan, Valdir, 11 grandchildren, her sister Joyce, brother Douglas, many nieces and nephews and countless friends, as well as her precious fur-baby and constant companion, Emma.

She was predeceased by her in-laws, both parents and sister-in-law, Bernadine Bagg.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Donald Retz, Debbie Goodfellow, Kerri Ogden, HCR Homecare, Changing Seasons, Hospice of CNY and the Fingerlakes and Dr. J Christopher Stringer. The compassion and dignified care Patty received was incomparable and we are grateful for your contribution to her quality of life these last few months.

A celebration of life will be held at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday June 23 at Eastern Hills Bible Church, 8277 Cazenovia Road, Manlius. Burial has taken place at Fairview Cemetery in New Berlin, N.Y.

In her memory please consider a contribution to Hospice foundation CNY, 990 7th North Street, Liverpool, NY 13088, or Clear Path for Veterans, 1223 Salt Springs Road, Chittenago, NY 13037.
