🕊️ Patricia A. Busch (1937–2025)

Patricia A. Busch, age 88, of Feasterville, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully, surrounded by love, on Tuesday, December 16, 2025.

Pat was born in Philadelphia, the cherished eldest daughter of the late Joseph and Henrietta Smith. She spent her childhood years on Belgrade Street in Port Richmond before making her home in Feasterville, Pennsylvania, where she lived most of her life.

Pat was predeceased by her beloved husband, Harry Busch, who passed away 45 years ago after 21 years of marriage. She was also preceded in death by her longtime friend and companion, Warren Bradley, and three siblings. Pat was a devoted mother who proudly raised four children; Karen (Tom), Susan (Bob), John (Diane) and Stephen (Sandy)

Since Harry's passing, Pat delighted in the growth of her family. She was blessed with eleven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, her last great-grandchild having been born on the very day she died. As the family noted, "Their souls truly passed each other to and from Heaven."

Pat is also survived by her two loving brothers, George (Connie) and Jim (Patty), as well as many nieces and nephews..

Pat adored her home, especially the many festive parties and family gatherings held there throughout the years. Being a grandmother and great-grandmother brought her immense joy.

She had a great love for travel, particularly road trips. Florida was a favorite destination to visit family and, of course, Disney World, with the Port Orleans French Quarter Resort holding a special place in her heart.

Pat was known as the "perfect shopper," often saying she was a better giver than receiver. Her lifelong goal was to find the perfect gift, a mission in which she always succeeded. While "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal," her family finds solace in knowing that "Love leaves a memory no one can steal."

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks for a donation to be made in Pat's name to; Assumption BVM Church , 1900 Meadowbrook Rd, Feasterville, PA 19053, her home parish since 1960, or, Serenity Hospice of New Jersey , 1670 Whitehorse-Hamilton Square, Hamilton, NJ 08690, for their exceptional care in her final days.

A viewing will be held at Assumption BVM Church, 1900 Meadowbrook Rd, Feasterville, PA, on Friday, December 19, 2025, from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM. A Mass of Christian Burial will immediately follow at 10:30 AM.

Interment will take place at Our Lady of Grace Cemetery immediately following the Mass.
