Patricia Mary Sloan passed away peacefully on November 21, 2025 in Charleston, SC where she lived most recently with her son Michael and his family.

     Born in Utica, New York, she was the daughter of the late Charles and Dorothy Lubey, and sister of the late Regina ‘Jean’ A. Paoni.

     A 1953 Graduate of St. Francis DeSales, Pat was employed at the Utica Observer Dispatch until her marriage to the late John W. Sloan in 1955. During her years as a homemaker and nurturing mother, she served as Den Mother for the Webelos and a Religious Education Teacher. She was later employed by the Montgomery Ward department store as a Department Supervisor and Fleet Bank until her retirement.
