Obituary of Patricia McGillen Yakavonis
Patricia “Granny” Yakavonis passed away on November 1, 2011. Granny was born in Philadelphia, PA on July 19, 1934. She spent time living in New Jersey, Philly and Scituate, MA. She and her beloved husband John moved to Florida, where they lived until his death. She then moved out to the West Coast to be with her daughter, Kathleen in Ocean Park, WA.

She enjoyed playing and spending time with her family, church, country music, going out to lunch with her daughter, Christmas shopping all year (!), NFL Football (go Patriots!) and our troops. She was never in the military, but boy, she was ever grateful for veterans.

Granny was preceded in death by her sister; Margret, father; Joseph McGillen, and her beloved husband, John F. Yakavonis.
