Patrice Willey

SPARTANBURG, SC:   On June 28, 2012, at Spartanburg Regional Hospice Home, Patrice lost her brave battle with cancer.

A 1969 graduate of Mechanicsburg Area High School, PA, Patrice was the daughter of the late Raymond and Jane Divelbiss.  She is survived by a sister, Sue Warren of New Cumberland, PA; a nephew, Josh Lusk and a niece, Jennifer Di’Tonno of PA; her forever friend, Gary Finley of Spartanburg; her gal pal, Sally Snyder of Pennsylvania; her guy pay, Ed Null of West Virginia; and her feline buddy, D.L. Cat (affectionately referred to as Skippy) who is being loved and cared for by Gary.

A sincere thank you to the staff of Gibbs Cancer Center in Spartanburg for the kind and compassionate care Patrice received, with special thanks and blessings to Colin Curran, MD, Madeline Reistroffer, NP, and Pat’s infusion miracle worker and ray of sunshine, Jennifer Sizemore, RN.  Patrice also wanted to acknowledge Spartanburg Regional Hospital’s transport driver, George Moody, who made trips to medical appointments a little brighter with his quick wit and upbeat personality.  Special appreciation is offered to the staff at Hospice Home.

Memorials may be made through a donation in her memory to the Chad Dingman Special Needs Program at Spartanburg Regional Foundation, 101 East Wood St., Spartanburg, SC, 29303.
