Born October 2, 1949 in Dolton, Illinois
Passed September 14, 2024 in Melbourne, Florida
Patricia Ann Elliott, nee Farneti, passed away peacefully on September 14, 2024 surrounded by her loved ones.
Pat was born in Dolton, Illinois and was a graduate of Thornridge High School. She later moved to Chicago Heights, Illinois where she would raise her children. After some time of being single, she met the love of her life, Ricky. They went on their 1st date on June 5, 1987, were married just over a month later on July 17, 1987 and their love lasted 37 years.
In 1996 she and her family moved to Melbourne, Florida to be by her loving brother Johnny. Pat was known for being one of the kindest, most compassionate woman. Her sense of humor could make anyone laugh. And the love she had for her family was immeasurable!
She is survived by her husband Ricky Elliott; daughter Jamie Doyle (John); sons Jason Orel, Dustin Elliott (Kaylee), & Daniel Elliott; grandchildren Patience, Presley, & Penelope Elliott and Sophia & Sawyer Doyle as well as nieces, nephews, & family friends.
She is preceded in death by her mother Frances; father John; brother John; stepmother Delores & stepbrother Bill; along with her fur babies Chia & Bella.
To say she will be missed is an understatement as she will always be so so loved by her family & friends.

My family a few houses down from the Farneti’s from the time they moved in until we were in our 20’s. Pat ( or how we referred to each other “peach” ) we had wonderful, wonderful times together during these years. Johnny was just a joy, and Pat thought the world of both he and her dad.
I have known many people over the years but not one could measure up to Pat. I remember when Jamie was born, so tiny, and how thrilled she was. So Jamie know your mom lived from before you were born and even more after. Pat was really part of our family. I am sure my brothers and sisters will want me to extend to all of you their condolences but want you to know the joy she brought to us. Loved her then and love her now and will always miss her spirit. She is now with many, many people who thought the world of her and is looking down on the loved ones who she thought the world of! She may even play the accordion for them. Rick I only met you a couple of times probably when you first moved to Chicago Heights but please know I wish you peace knowing how happy you made her. I am so sorry.

My prayers and sympathy are with the family!
I worked with Pat at Dictaphone Nuance.
Pat was a delight to work with! She loved to
Dress up for Halloween and I tried my best to
Win but every year she came in first with
Awesome outfits! Pat always had a kind word
For me and a smile! I will never forget her!
God Bless! Joy Maxey

I’m so sorry for your loss. Daniel is my best friend and one of the kindest and most generous humans I’ve ever met. He is also hysterical. From the stories he’s told me, I know he gets those traits from Patricia. The world is better because of Patricia. May we meet in the next life. ❤️

Pattie was one of a kind, and even though we weren't related by blood she always felt like a member of our family. She was so kind and caring and had a great sense of humor. She didn't even get mad at me when I taught Jason his first swear word. lol She made people smile. My deepest condolences go out to her husband Rick, all of the kids and grandkids - and everyone who she made feel like family. (That is a long list of people)
We'll miss you Pattie!!!!

Patsy was one of a kind. We love her so very much. We met The Elliott family approximately 26 years ago when they moved on to our street and we initially bonded because my husband Donnie and Ricky were both car nuts. Patsy and Ricky made us family from the first moment we met them. That's just how they were. The more the merrier. Patsy had seen me through my worst times and was always there for me no matter what. The love that I have for her is immeasurable. We did so much together over the years and watched all of our children grow up together and then grandchildren.
To say that she will be missed is an understatement. I'm so thankful for so many wonderful years together. Miss Patsty, you were the best of the best. My heart will forever be broken by the passing of my beautiful friend.
See you again someday my wonderful friend.

Please accept our sincere condolences for your family’s loss.
I was blessed to finally meet this amazing women just a couple of years ago. I had already met Rick (friend of my husband).
I remember being so nervous to meet her. We were coming to Melbourne to visit and staying in her home for a couple of days. I was worried that it would be uncomfortable. I had a plan B just in case, lol. I was so wrong!! This amazing women made me feel so welcome. I did not want to say goodbye and made a plan to come back following winter.
We talked about so many things in that time together. But the conversations that stayed with me and always will are the conversations that included her children. She loved her children fiercely. If you knew her, you knew that was a fact!
We talked about all of her children and I knew each one before meeting them!
There are no words to express the immense loss that I know you are all feeling. Just know you are always in our thoughts and prayers.

Worked with Pat my tenure with Dictaphone/Nuance (23 years). Saw and talked to her every day and each of those times we laughed, joked and occasionally we were serious. She always had the BEST Halloween costumes!! She loved her family more than anything. Heaven has a new angel! She will be missed by so many.

Pat was one of the kindest and wonderful people I have ever met. We went to Thornridge High School together which resulted in many happy memories. We reconnected at our reunion and it was as though no time passed at all. I am so saddened to hear of her passing. She certainly loved her family who enriched her life. To her family, please accept my condolences and know that she had many friends who are saddened and will remember her for her many attributes. Rest in peace Pat🙏🙏
