Patricia B. Braun 1946-2025

Born Aug. 29, 1946, she was a daughter of the late Lawrence and Lorraine Phillips Lynch.

Her greatest joys were found in her garden, her kitchen filled with the scents of her delicious meals and her hands engaged in creating beautiful crafts. However, her most profound happiness came from the moments spent with her family, especially her grandchildren, who brought her immeasurable joy.

Patricia leaves behind her children, Kimberly (Mark) DeGenova of Lake Milton, Patricia Fusillo of Austintown, Susan (Dennis) Lange of Boardman and Patrick Braun of Jacksonville, Florida; 11 grandchildren, James Braun, Mark (Lillian) DeGenova, Emily (Alexander) Grantonic, Ashley (Ryan Carnahan) Manthe, William (Misti) Braun, Gary Fusillo, Brittney Fusillo, Edward Chambers, Lily Lange, Christopher Braun and Catlin Braun; great-grandchildren, Tyler Manthe, Hannah Cornahan, Liam Marshall, Athea Barrickman and Zoey Braun; and great-grandbaby, Grantonic, on the way.

Patricia was preceded in death by her husband, Dennis E. Braun, whom she married July 18, 1964, and who passed away June 15, 2009; her son, Dennis J. Braun; and a grandson, Patrick Braun.

A graveside service will be 11 a.m. Friday at Calvary Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley, 2805 Salt Springs Road, Youngstown, OH 44509, mahoningvalleysecondharvest.org/.

Professional arrangements are being handled by Higgins-Reardon Funeral Homes, Austintown Chapel.
