Patricia A. Holtz

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Patricia A. Holtz, lovingly known as Pat, a cherished daughter of the late Benedict and Mary Holtz. Pat was not only a beloved sister to James, Mary, Kathy, Dottie, and Ann Marie (Jim) Eckel but also a source of strength and support for her deceased sister Peggy,  late twin brother, Peter, and her brother Joseph. Her legacy continues through her daughter, Felicia Edwards Lang, who carries forth Pat's values and love.

Pat was an extraordinary aunt and great-aunt, nurturing countless nieces and nephews, cousins, and a vast circle of remarkable friends. Her compassion and dedication extended beyond family; she devoted herself to her career as a Registered Nurse for an impressive forty-eight years, serving with distinction at Kaleida Health. For 26 years, she held the position of nurse manager in the medical ICU at Buffalo General, where her leadership and vision led to significant advancements in patient care.

In her free time, Pat enjoyed gardening, tending to her flowers and plants along with maintaining the landscaping at home.  She also enjoyed playing golf and traveling and going to the theatre. 

The family invites all who knew and loved Pat to join them in a time of remembrance. Visitation will be held on Thursday from 3 PM to 8 PM at NEW COMER CREMATIONS & FUNERALS, located at 5090 Transit Rd, Depew, NY 14043. A Celebration of Life in honor of Pat will take place on Friday at 11 AM at Southern Tier Brewing 7 Scott Street, Buffalo, NY 14203. 

Pat’s spirit will eternally resonate in the hearts of those who had the privilege to know her, as we remember her kindness, dedication, and the love she spread throughout her life.
