Patricia F. “Pat” Dobbs, 76, a resident of Avoca, passed into eternal life peacefully on Holy Saturday, April 20, 2019, at Moses Taylor Hospital, Scranton, while under the care of Compassionate Care Hospice.

Her beloved husband was the late James F. Dobbs Sr., who passed away on July 16, 2007. Together, James and Pat shared 42 beautiful years of marriage.

Born on June 25, 1942, in Pittston, Patricia was the daughter of the late Walter P. Tigue Sr. and Mary (McAndrew) Tigue.

Pat was a graduate of the former Avoca High School, Class of 1960, and was a faithful member of the Catholic Church throughout her life.

Prior to her retirement, Pat was employed for over 20 years as a 1^st grade teacher’s aide for Good Shepherd Academy, Kingston and the former Gate of Heaven Grade School, Dallas. She treasured the years she spent working with children.

A woman of many enjoyments, Pat especially enjoyed the times she spent at the Jersey Shore with her husband, and reading.

Above all, she was devoted to her family. Her children and grandchildren were the light of her life and she was happiest when she was surrounded by them. Although her presence will be deeply missed, her beautiful legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of her loved ones.

The family wishes to extend their sincere gratitude to Pat’s family doctor, Dr. James Sheerer, for his wonderful care for her over the years. They wish to also thank the doctors, nurses, and staff from Compassionate Care Hospice and the 4^th floor of Moses Taylor Hospital for the excellent care they bestowed upon Pat during her time of need.

In addition to her parents, Walter and Mary Tigue, and her husband, James, Pat was preceded in death by her sister, Marianne Tigue.
