Patricia Mary Biondo, 96, of Pleasant Mount, died on Saturday, March 18, 2023 at home, in her own bed, surrounded by her children.  She was preceded in death by her husband, Peter Philip Biondo on April 14, 1984.  The couple married on September 25, 1948.

Born on August 19, 1926 in Paterson, NJ, she was the daughter of the late Patrick Joseph and Florence Agnes (Finn) Talty.  After graduating from St. Paul’s High School in Paterson, she worked as a secretary at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Paterson.  In 1957, she and her husband moved to the Honesdale area before buying the family farm in Pleasant Mount in 1958.  A loving housewife and mother, she raised her family of 9 children and helped around the farm.

Pat was a faithful member of St. Katharine Drexel Parish, attending St. James Church in Pleasant Mount and in earlier years St. Cecelia’s Church.  She was a member of St. Katharine Drexel Altar Rosary Society and previously St. Cecelia’s Altar Rosary Society.  She was an original member of the local Blue Army Rosary Cell with her treasured friends, meeting weekly to pray the rosary.  She was a charter member of the Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapel in Honesdale and faithfully prayed her hour for over 30 years.  In her younger years, she enjoyed bowling and was a Girl Scout leader in Pleasant Mount.  She was also a member of the Red Hat Society where she enjoyed spending time with friends.

At home, Pat enjoyed gardening, reading, mowing the lawn and watching the birds.  She loved to travel with friends and family, especially driving to Florida to spend winters with her friend Sue McCormick.  Most of all, she enjoyed spending time with her family and her grandchildren.  After the birth of each grandchild, she was happy to spend time caring for them and helping the family adjust to the new addition.

Surviving are her children, Buck Biondo and wife Michele of Pleasant Mount, Jimmy Biondo and wife Debbie of Rock Lake, Jeff Biondo and wife Carol of Springville, PA, Gail McKeon of Pleasant Mount, Denise Vauter and husband Pete of Pleasant Mount, Sally Pavlovich and husband Mike of Buffalo, NY, Andy Biondo of Los Angeles, CA and Christina Albright and husband Carl of Pleasant Mount.  She is also survived by her brothers-in-law, Timmy Biondo of MI, Danny Biondo and wife Trisha of DE; sisters-in-law, Happy Buchanan of Whiting, NJ and Peggy Nichols of Clifford, PA.  She is survived by 33 grandchildren, 45 1/2 great grandchildren, 1 great-great grandson and her faithful friend, Marge Hnatko.

She was preceded in death by her daughter Kathleen Biondo and sisters, Mary Graham, Dorothy Pachuta and Sally Talty.

The Biondo family would like to thank the nurses and staff of Traditional Home Health and Hospice for their exceptional care for Pat.
