Obituary of Patricia Buziak

Patricia Stivitski Buziak, 92, of Toms River, passed away peacefully on June 18, 2016. Pat was born on March 17, 1924 in Pringle, Pa. She lived life to the fullest and believed the world celebrated her birthday with her every St. Patrick’s Day. She was a devoted daughter who cared for both her parents until their deaths. She worked for the Central Jersey Railroad her entire life. Pat married her husband Stanley late in life. They enjoyed traveling, getting together with friends and doing the polka at the many parties they attended together. Even after her husband’s death, “Aunt Pat” enjoyed celebrating many events with the NJ Crew and taught us to enjoy the “first today (with our left hand)”. Patricia was the daughter of Clem and Rose Stivitski. She was predeceased by her husband, Stanley Buziak. She is survived by her sisters-in law, Stella McMonagle and Jean Norton, her cousin Helen Vidunis and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
