Patricia Marie (Richtar) Gaglia

Surrounded by her family’s love, Patty died peacefully on September 30, 2022 at the age of 74, after a brief but courageous battle against brain cancer. As she entered the Lord’s kingdom, she was reunited with her beloved husband Michael A. Gaglia, Sr. (1986), as well as her parents, Rudolph A. and Helen P.
