KINGSBURY- Patricia A. (Waite) LaMoy was welcomed into the arms of our Lord on December 29, 2016, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Born July 19, 1942 to Margaret L. (Trackey) Waite and Lawrence H. Waite.
Pat grew up in Queensbury, graduating high school in 1960. She married Eugene F. “Frank” LaMoy on April 8, 1960. As teenagers, Frank and Pat worked together at the Rialto Theatre in Glens Falls. He worked as an usher, while she served at the concession stand selling candy.
Pat and Frank raised their children together, creating a home filled with love, laughter, and memories to last a lifetime. On weekends, Pat enjoyed going to her cousin’s camp on Lake Champlain with her family, often rescuing turtles stranded in the middle of the road. Pat was the leader of Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and 4H when her children were younger and traveled all over the area supporting area high school basketball players. When her oldest children were in school she was very active in the PTA and was given a lifetime achievement award.
Pat worked for RGIS Inventory Services for many years and provided care for the elderly for over twenty years as a home health aide. She was devoted to meeting the needs of others, caring for people, as if they were part of her own family.
Knitting, quilting, researching genealogy, tending to her rock and flower garden, were some of Pat’s many hobbies. She served on the altar guild and vestry at church, and belonged to the Daughters of the King. Pat spent countless hours setting up the church for different events, making the rooms beautiful for others. She had an amazing amount of faith and did everything with so much love and dedication that one could not picture it done any other way. Pat made the best of everything and had a gift for always seeing the good in everyone.
The majority of her life she spent fondly taking care of her children and grandchildren. She developed a special bond with each family member, cheering and encouraging all on in their endeavors.
In addition to her husband, Pat was predeceased by her dear cousin, Shirley (Ronk) Houle; who was more of a sister than a cousin.
Those left to honor her memory include her children; daughter, Elizabeth (Donald) Hewitt, son, Frank LaMoy, daughter, Stacia (Robert) Bonanno, son, Jason (Connie) LaMoy; sister, Pamela (Dean) Romer, sister-in-law, Jane (Richard) Choquette; special cousins, Joan (David) LaPier and Bud (Dianne) Graham, grandchildren, Grant (Leslie) LaMoy, Dan (Holly) Hewitt, Matthew Hewitt, David Hewitt, Ryan Hewitt, Felicia Bonanno, Anthony Bonanno, Corey LaMoy, Parker Gugliotta, Nathan Bonanno, Adam Bonanno, Gianna LaMoy, Ivie LaMoy, Jett LaMoy; and 6 great-grandchildren, several nieces, a nephew and cousins.
