Patrice (McGowan) Ware passed away peacefully with her loving family by her side on May 30th, 2016. Patrice, also known as, Patti, was born on September 20th, 1952 to the late Lovett and Leona McGowan. She grew up on Auburn Rd. in Woodstown, NJ. Patti graduated from Woodstown High School in 1970, and then went on to obtain her Bachelor’s Degree from Glassboro State College in 1974. She was a gifted and caring teacher who taught 5th and 6th grades in the Penns Grove – Carneys Point Regional School District for 36 years.
For many years, Patti was a fixture at the Woodstown High School baseball games where her husband has been coaching for 43 seasons. Patti put her heart and soul into raising her three children and never missed a sporting event, school activity, or church program that her children were involved in over the years. Patti was also a very special “Mom-Mom” to her grandchildren whom she loved and cherished very much.
Patti enjoyed reading, watching court TV and the Game Show Network, traveling to Virginia and to her trailer at the shore, and most importantly, spending time with her family.
Patti is survived by her husband of 43 years, Lee R. Ware, her daughters, Holly Land (Jason) and Jaclyn Muterspaugh (Seth), her son, Richard Ware (Jennifer), her brothers, Michael McGowan (Beverly) and James McGowan (Cheryl) and several nieces and nephews. She will also be sadly missed by her precious grandchildren, Sienna, Brett, Adalyn, Melanie, Lucas, and her unborn grandson.
The family would also like to thank Patti’s dedicated caregiver, Pamela Davis.
