Patricia "Patti" Oren, 62, passed away at home in Newark, Delaware on June 26, 2022, with her husband and children watching over her.

She was born August 9, 1959, and was raised in Wilmington, Delaware. After high school, she joined the United States Air Force holding various positions. She started as an aircraft electrician but ended up excelling in her role as a chapel manager, which was a role she preferred. She also worked in the retail industry where she enjoyed her work and being helpful and supportive of the customer.  All the while, Patti was a devoted mother and homemaker. She took the lead position supporting homeowners involved with a neighborhood's eminent domain buyout by a retail developer, ultimately leading to drastically improving the homeowners' and the city's outcomes.

Her hobbies that grew into passions were gardening, crocheting, and knitting.  She loved animals and providing for strays and deer. She often had cats as pets and even rabbits at one point. She was also very passionate about her Christian faith and studied the Bible and its teachings from various ministers and preachers.

She is survived by her husband, Greg; son, Jesse; daughter, Stacy; sisters, Charmaine (Char) Dill, Carol Gallagher, Suzanne (Zan) Coughlin and Suzzette (Zet) Radcliff; brothers, David (Davey) Radcliff and Michael Kotlarek; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Services and burial will be held privately.
