Patrice M. Wright, 63, of Niagara Falls, NY, passed away on November 13, 2025 at Northgate Health Care Facility in Wheatfield, NY. Born in Niagara Falls, she was the daughter of the late Cleveland and Bessie (Noblin) Wright.

Patrice was a graduate of LaSalle Senior High School. She was employed as a Nurse's Aide at the former St. Mary's Manor in Niagara Falls for 10 years.

Deeply devoted to God, Patrice lived her faith daily. She loved playing spades, watching sports, and cheering on her favorite teams—the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Buffalo Bills, and Philadelphia Eagles. Patrice was sassy, loving, loud, and stern but fair. She was loved by everyone and served as a mother figure to many. Above all, she cherished her children and grandchildren, faithfully checking in with them every day through text messages and FaceTime.

Patrice is survived by her children, Steven (Kendall) Stills, Jr. and Shanique Stills (fiancé Jaime Speaker); her beloved grandchildren, Harlow and Hudson Stills; her siblings, Vincent (Charlene) Wright, Pam (late Cranston) Sheppard, Paulette Wright, and Jillena (John) Gaddis; as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, December 6 at 11 AM at Old Pathway Holiness Church, 3328 Church Street, Niagara Falls, NY 14303, where funeral services will begin at 12 PM.  Arrangements are under the care of M.J. Colucci & Son Niagara Funeral Chapel. Visit mjcoluccifuneralchapel.com for online condolences.
