Patricia Ann Fassett passed away peacefully on January 1, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love, faith, and devotion that will live on through generations. She was a woman whose life radiated love, grace, and quiet strength, making the world a better and more beautiful place simply by being in it. Patricia was beautiful inside and out kind-hearted, selfless, and always willing to help anyone in need. Her presence brought comfort, her words brought peace, and her love brought people together.
Patricia was born on October 15, 1938, in East Chicago, Indiana, and was raised in New Troy, Michigan. She was the beloved daughter of John and Martha Adams and grew up surrounded by love with her brothers, Tommy, Johnny, and Rich Adams, and her sister, Jackie Adams (Dalka).

She devoted her life to her children, always putting their needs before her own and loving them with unwavering strength and tenderness.
