Patricia Ruth Brown's Obituary
Patricia Ruth Brown, 66, of Culpeper, went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, December 30th, 2020. She was born on September 10, 1954 in Berea, Ohio to the late Dominic and Opal (Utz) Berila.
Patty has been known by many titles including Registered Nurse, daughter, sister, and friend. However her proudest and most cherished title was that of Mom and Grammy. She enjoyed community Bingo games, bowling with her granddaughters, and baking apple pies and sweets for any occasion. She loved her years as a travel nurse, which gave her plenty of time to visit her sisters, brother, and family. She came back to Culpeper and retired in 2018. She leaves a lifetime of memories with her family and her mark on people’s lives will be treasured forever.
She is survived by her daughter, Kerrie (Reid) Cook and three cherished granddaughters, Ava, Audrey, and Adelyn Cook. She is also survived by two siblings, Richard Berila and Dianne (Robert) Erdman, nephews Blaine (Margo) and Josef, nieces Kim (Mark), Heather, April, Rae, and Beth, along with many other grand nieces, nephews, and cousins.
In addition to her parents, Patricia was preceded in death by her two sisters, Shirley Cartellone and Cathy Prehauser.
