Patricia Marie Foy, age 77 of Fish Creek and Mequon, passed away on Thursday, Sept. 19, 2024, due to complication from pneumonia and lung cancer at Horizon’s Lawlis Family Hospice, with her family by her side.
She was born May 2, 1947, in Sturgeon Bay to the late Neil “Pat” and Selma “Sally (Specht) Kinsey. Patti attended and graduated Fish Creek Grade School and Gibraltar High School.

On April 3, 1970, Patti was united in marriage to Frederic S. Foy. The couple was blessed with a son, Patrick.
Patti loved living in Mequon and Fish Creek and her winter trips to Florida. In Mequon, overlooking the lake, she enjoyed living next to the Nature Conservatory, watching the animals and seasons change. In Fish Creek she enjoyed living in the house she grew up in. She always enjoyed boating and going to the Grandbanks rendezvous meeting new and old friends. One of her favorite places was Rock Island. Sitting on the dock with a 5 o’clock cocktail in her hand watching the sunsets and sometimes saying “I’ve seen better”. Patti and Frederic would travel to Florida in the winter to their favorite spot, Madeira Beach.
Patti was an avid skier with trips out west with friends. As a sports fan she enjoyed football, baseball, hockey, college basketball, and gymnastics. Her favorite teams to root for were the Green Bay Packers and Wisconsin Badgers.
Patti always had a friendly face, kind words, and witty humor for everyone she met and knew. She will be forever missed.
Patti is survived by her husband, Frederic; son, Patrick (Nicole) Foy; grandchildren, Courtney and Kieran Foy; and brother-in-law, Waren (Mary) Foy.
She is preceded in death by her parents.
