Patricia A. Nolan, 95, died peacefully at Schoellkopf Health Center on Wednesday March 3, 2021. A Niagara Falls native, Patricia was the eldest of five children of Victor and Marion deWysocki All of her siblings pre-deceased her. She was the loving wife of the late Richard M. Nolan Ret. US Navy. A devout Catholic, Pat was a lifelong parishioner of St. John de LaSalle Church and a 40+ year member of St. Vincent de Paul Parish, where she attended daily Mass until her health prohibited it.

Following graduation from LaSalle High School, Pat was employed as an Executive Secretary at Dupont, where her father was on the management team. After her husband's untimely death in 1973, she launched a career as a secretary in the Niagara Falls School District, which spanned 30 years and several Employee of the Year Awards. Upon her retirement at the age of 79, as School Secretary at G.J. Mann Elementary School, Pat became a volunteer at Elderwood at Crestwood, assisting at the residents' weekly Mass and Rosary recitation.

Pat is survived by her six children, Judith (William) Powell, Jeanette (Neil) Druks, Margaret (Joseph) DeLoreto, Richard (Alma Stapleton), Daniel (Michelle) and James; grandchildren Matthew and Samantha Druks, Sara Johnson (Thomas Zywiczynski), Erin (Mark Matthews), Richard and Meredith Nolan, Katie (Angelo) Cusatis, Elyse (Dominic) Colangelo; and great-grandchildren Victor and A.J. Cusatis, and Hunter Zywiczynski; sister-in-law Rita deWysocki, several nieces and nephews and her dear friends Joan Kellick and Robert Schoenherr.

The family wishes to extend sincere gratitude to the excellent caregivers at Schoellkopf Heath Center, who lovingly became Mom's "surrogate family" when COVID-19 restrictions prohibited us from being with her.
