She was a buyer for DePina’s Clothing Store in Manhattan, N.Y., before marrying her sweetheart, Vincent Monterosso, in February 1955. Pat and Vin built a loving home and family in Scarsdale, N.Y., before moving to Bridgewater, N.J.

Pat was active in her church, serving on several committees for The Council of Catholic Women and Great Expectations Home for Expectant Mothers in Need.
