Obituary of Patricia Rhodes Jingoli

Patricia Rhodes Jingoli, 87, of Spring Lake, died peacefully on Tuesday with her beloved family and the Lord at her side.

Born in Germantown PA, she was raised in Trenton and resided in Lawrenceville and Columbus before moving to Spring Lake. Patricia was a graduate of Cathedral High School and for 10 years served as an administrator at Notre Dame High School. Her greatest joy was her work with autistic children in the Lawrence Township Public Schools. 

She was a devout member of the Church of St. Ann in Lawrenceville and St. Catharine Church in Spring Lake and volunteered many hours at both. She also was a devoted animal lover and donated to the Monmouth County S.P.C.A., and Rescue Ridge in Spring Lake.

Patricia was a lover of music, art, birds and the beaches of New Jersey. She was an avid fan of the Philadelphia Phillies and the Villanova Wildcats and she was ecstatic to see her beloved Eagles win the Super Bowl.

Patricia had a wonderful sense of humor, enjoyed entertaining and was always the life of the party. She lived a life filled with style, grace and compassion. God will welcome her home with glory.
