Patricia A. Broesler (nee Koss), on July 10, 2013, of Pitman, NJ, formerly of Voorhees, NJ and Mineola, Long Island. Age 87.


Pat was the youngest of five daughters, born to Frank Koss and Mabel (nee Tynan) Koss. After WWII she met a skinny, young kid while bowling one Sunday night. Originally taking him to be a high school kid, she thought his flirting was cute. She married the 22 year old, ex-Naval seaman in 1948 and she and "her Joe" enjoyed 59 years together.


Quick-witted, playful and even better looking than Joe, she raised five sons while running a veritable summer day camp at 303 Beebe Road, Mineola.


Her pride in her sons and her love of "her Joe" were only matched by her pure delight in her 12 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. That pride, love and delight were mirrored back to Pat by her entire family. She never had a favorite, though her genuine care for all made each feel that they were the special one.


Beloved wife of the late Joseph W. Broesler. Loving mother of Thomas (Carol), Joseph (Linda), Robert (Tracy), Gerard (Cheryl) and Patrick (Susan). Wonderful grandmother of Sean, Glen (Jess), Melanee (Vinod), Robert, Jr. (Kate), Michele, Justin, Kerri, Brian, T.J., Andrew, Kyle and Colleen. Dear great grandmother of 3. Also survived by many nieces and nephews.
