Obituary:
Patricia J. Dominesey
Feb. 21, 1927-Dec. 21, 2022
Patricia J. (née Noecker) Dominesey, formerly of East Aurora, died at her Lady Lake, Florida home on December 21, 2022. She was 95.
Mrs. Dominesey, known to family and friends as Pat, was the courageous, vibrant matriarch of her very large family and truly lived her life holding each of her children and grandchildren in thought and prayer daily until she succumbed to complications from congestive heart failure and rheumatoid arthritis. She was married to her husband Norman Dominesey for 62 years, until his death in 2006. Although Mr. and Mrs. Dominesey spent a little over ten years in Virginia Beach when Norm retired, they returned to the Village of East Aurora where they began their married life in 1943.
Mrs. Dominesey always had a smile to share as she enjoyed being a wife, mother, and happy grandmother above all else. Married during World War II at the age of 16, she spent her life in service to her family as a loving, faith-filled wife, mother, and grandmother of 30 grandchildren, 53 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren. She will be greatly missed. Her greatest gift to her family is the legacy she leaves behind: “Us.”
Mrs. Dominesey spent her last few years enjoying sunny Lady Lake, Florida. She was a member of Immaculate Conception Church in East Aurora and St. Timothy Catholic Church in Lady Lake, Florida.
Mrs. Dominesey is survived by her children Patricia J. (Kenneth) Kota, Norman J. (Patricia) Dominesey, Thomas J. (Sylvia) Dominesey, Vincent P. (Sheryl) Dominesey, Catherine Schutrum (Paul) Prohoniak and Prudence (Michael) McCarthy; grandchildren Mark Dominesey, Mike Dominesey, Julie Dominesey, Cindy Roberts, Andrew Urbaczewski, Elizabeth Durr, Patricia Robinson, Kenneth Kota II, Joshua Kota, Benjamin Kota, Jennifer Saunders, Heather Schweitzer, Norman Dominesey, Jr. (III), Sean Dominesey, Katherine Griggs, Matthew Dominesey, Julia Dominesey, Michael Dominesey, Matthew Dominesey, Georgianna Andreczjak, Christan O’Leary, Jason Dominesey, Jessica Hovey, Michael Schutrum, Jr., Sarah Joplin, Alexandra Beste, Erin Tigh, Erica McGowan, Michael McCarthy Jr., and Morgan McCarthy; siblings Mary Elizabeth “Betty” Mest, Nicholas Noecker, Charles Noecker, Paul Noecker, Sister Catherine Noecker, OSF, and Thomas Noecker; and many cherished nieces, nephews, and cousins.
