Barbara Patch was born on January 30, 1945, in California. She passed away peacefully at her home on Thursday, October 16, 2025.
She is survived by her son, Michael Patch; godson, Eric Audette; and sisters Donna Patch and Leona Aiguier (Dick Aiguier); as well as nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her father, Chester Patch Sr.; mother, Irene Patch; brothers, Leo Patch and Chester Patch Jr.; and sisters Rosemarie Hanson and Grace Patch.
She was a hard worker and friendly to all. She worked various jobs throughout her life in Chittenden County, making many friends along the way. She was gentle but a fierce protector of family and friends. She was a woman of faith and loved by all who knew her.
We would like to thank the hospice care nurses, Judy, Chelsea and Gale, who helped her in her last month. They’re greatly appreciated, and we’re so thankful to have had them by our side throughout her last month.
A funeral service will be held on Friday October 31, 2025, 11 a.m., at St. John Vianney in South Burlington. Following the funeral mass in Recreation Park there will be refreshments in St. John Vianney Hall.
In lieu of flowers, we would like donations to be given in memory of Barbara Patch to the Vermont Alzheimer’s Association.
