Elvira K. Patritto

We are saddened to announce the passing of Elvira K. Patritto on October, 11 2022 at a hospice home in North Carolina.  She was surrounded by love from her family. 

A graveside service for Elvira will take place at 11:30 AM on Wednesday, August 2, 2023 at Holy Rosary Catholic Cemetery with Father Patrick McConnell officiating. Following the service, a luncheon will take place at Marilyn's.

She was born December 30, 1934 in Sagola, Michigan to the late Elmer and Elsie (Morrien) Ring.  In 1938 the family moved to Bessemer, Michigan where she was a graduate of the A.D. Johnston High School with the class of 1952. On September 4, 1954, she was united in marriage to John P. Patritto at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Hurley, Wisconsin.

She was formerly employed at Michigan Bell Telephone Co., Ironwood, Michigan, Dr. D.J. Martinetti, Hurley, Wisconsin, and Midway telephone Co. in Medford, Wisconsin. Her favorite hobby was knitting and crocheting for Ronald McDonald House.  She also enjoyed retirement years with her husband, spending winters in Harlingen, Texas.  Especially having family and friends coming to visit there.  But the greatest love of her life was her family. After John’s passing, Elvira moved to North Carolina to be closer to family.  During her time at the retirement community she enjoyed spending time with new friends and of course playing bingo.

She is survived by a loving son David Patritto, a special granddaughter Heather (Jesse) Campbell, Lauren (Jimmy) Milner, Hailey Patritto and six loveable great-children Dawson, Aydin, Asher, Kiptyn, Kynli Campbell, and Gavin Buehler.  Also surviving are in-laws and several nieces and nephews.

Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband John of 67 years , daughter Debra J Buehler (twin of David), grandson Brandon Buehler, a sister and brother-in-law Eleanor and Robert Cates, a sister and brother-in-law Elaine and (Pete) Talbot Hinze, and a sister-in-law Lucia M. Patritto and brother-in-law Winton Petersen.
