Patsy P

Staine

Patsy Peterson Staine, lovingly known to many as "Pat" and "Mama" to those closest to her, was born Patsy Peterson, to the late Benjamin Peterson and Leola Cooper Peterson on May 18, 1948 in Florence County, South Carolina. After silently battling with several medical illnesses, she was called home to be with the Lord and departed this life on December 15, 2020 at Englewood Health in Englewood New Jersey.

Patsy relocated to New York with her family and graduated from Benjamin Franklin High School. Shortly after graduating she met and was united in marriage to the love of her life, Raymond O. Staine. To this union two children were born. In 1974 they moved to Teaneck, New Jersey where she resided for forty- six years as a homemaker.

In her spare time, Patsy enjoyed reading, bowling, and watching TV with her husband. She was a member for over twenty year of the P.P. Staines bowling team at Bowl O Dome in North Arlington, New Jersey. But most of all she loved being there and caring for her family, which she did by being the caregiver of her siblings Vertell and Ken after the passing of her of her mom. She was also instrumental in the raising of her granddaughter A'Rajon and managing two households all while battling a cluster of ailments which she kept to herself and never once complained about.

Patsy left an impression on everyone she encountered. She was loved by many and will truly be missed.

She leaves to cherish her memories: her husband Raymond Staine; children: Pia Staine (partner Jac Graves), Karim (Keda) Staine; stepchildren: Raymond Murphy, Zsa Zsa Murphy; honorary children: Carla Staine, Regina Smithwick, Cedric Maybank, Keith Fields; siblings: Lela Vertell Peterson, Lola Bannister, Annette (Bobby) Denmark, Kenneth Peterson; grandchildren: A'Rajon Staine-Taylor, Neal Gary, and a host of nieces, nephews, other loving relatives, and friends.
