Patricia Dawn Tempio-Wilson
Sept. 12, 1974 – Jan. 17, 2020
Patricia Dawn Tempio-Wilson, 45, of Stafford Virginia passed away January 17th 2020 at VCU Massey Cancer Center in Richmond Virginia.
Patsy was a loving wife, mother, and aunt who lived life with the utmost happiness, sassiness, and joy; and brought the same to everyone who knew her. She selflessly dedicated all that she had to give to her family and friends; and her care & love for others was the most sincere. Patsy fought fiercely and bravely through the toughest, darkest of times, never once giving up hope; and has inspired so many through her courage. She will be remembered for the smiles and laughter that was a part of her every day, and for the compassion, loyalty, and love she demonstrated her whole life.
Patsy is survived by her husband Chris and their daughters Sophia and Genevieve, her mother Pat, brother Jim and his wife Marianne, brother-in-law Bob and his wife Kristi, & nieces Stephanie, Christina, Adrianna and nephews Jake and Cole.

Interment will be private
God is a place of refuge in time of the storm. John 11: 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.
May God provide His peace and comfort as you mourn the passing of your wife and mother. You are not alone.
Patty, I never got a chance to tell you in person how much you meant to me. I so loved you. You were the light that helped Michael fight during his last two months of life, and you were a light to me this summer when I had to deal with my own challenges. You mean the world to me, even now, dearest one. Run free, sweet one and know that my love and my prayers surround you and your family.
Even though we never met in person, we live thousands of miles apart, you never failed to encourage and support me and Evan. You are one of the most genuine, kind and enthusiastic people I have ever had the good fortune of ‘meeting’.
Thank you for providing compassion and friendship.
No words can describe this loss. Sending so much love and so many prayers your way. She is an angel with you all now.
My dear sister, words cannot describe my feelings. I love you all there is. Until we meet again.
Chris, please accept my sincere sympathy for the loss of your wife. Sending love, thoughts, and prayers to you and your family during this difficult time.
Chris and family, Being all to familiar with the loss of multiple loved ones to cancer, I am sending my sincerest condolences during this very hard time. I believe, without a doubt, they are with us in spirit everyday – guiding and protecting. M a as y you find peace knowing she lived to love and continues to live on free of pain.
Patti was so special to me. I have so many fond memories of our time together in California. Patti taught me to believe in myself and accomplish things I never thought possible. She was my favorite friend and neighbor. She was smart and funny and beautiful and the strongest person I have ever met. She made everyone close to her feel like family. She was a bright light of encouragement and I will forever miss her smile. Rest easy my friend. I know your love and light will live on with Chris and the girls.
Chris, I want to extend my deepest condolences to you and your family during this time of grief.

Chris, your family is in our prayers as you work to heal and find your new normal. I never had the prevlige to meet Patti, but have no doubt she was an exceptional wife and mother and that she will be missed. My deepest condolences. Clint
I am truly sorry for your loss, may the memories you have of her help you find peace. My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time.
Cris & family. I am so saddened by your loss and I know that no words can erase your. Patty was a special person who always brought cheer to the dreariest day I still remember when she was recognized as an exemplary employee at Petaluma. She seemed so very humbled to be recognized. I pray God will comfort you and help in the days ahead.
Chris, although I only met Patty once, I remember her warm smile and kind heart. Moving from Cali to DC, her only concern was making sure that you and the girls were happy. She loved her family and that was so clear to me. If you need anything please don’t hesitate. Sending you my condolences and I will continue praying for your strength.
My dear Patsy, my lifelong friend since 1st grade, God saw your struggle at the end was too heavy to bear. My heart aches knowing my friend with whom I grew up with, shared dating, marriage, parenting, and all those milestones in between – is gone. I love you always. My dear Chris, you know how much I love you and your girls because of Patsy. My deepest prayers and sympathy in this very painful time. You and the girls have gained the toughest, most protective, yet gentle angel in heaven watching over you.
RIP Patsy.- you leave behind an army of people who have been touched and inspired by your love, laughter, and zeal for life!!
I only knew Patty on a professional level. Actually the only time I saw her was when she and your beautiful girls came in to our dental office in Maine. I saw her obituary and knew right away it was her. My heart suddenly sank with so much sadness. I remember Patty as always being cheerful, we talked about USCG stories (my brother was a ‘lifer’), your daughters were just so charming.
I just shared this with another former co-worker, she as well is saddened.
We send our love to you, the girls, and your families. This shows just how much of an impact Patty had on people, friends (old or new), or acquaintances that were met along the road of live. Her smile, laugh (heard throughout the office), kind heart and soul that could be felt immediately. A lifetime of treasured memories.
Our deepest condolences to you and the family. She will be dearly missed. I will cherish the wonderful memories that I have with her. She was the sweetest and most sincere person that I have ever met. You both welcomed me into Tracen running with open arms and I am forever grateful. I will treasure the stories and all the laughs we shared, specifically her love of musicals (Hamilton). I now understand what that was all about.
May God continue to provide you with strength during this difficult time.
Rest In Peace our dear friend.
