Patricia Elizabeth Knoblich, beloved wife, devoted friend, and cherished member of her community, peacefully departed this life on December 20, 2024, in Burbank, WA. She was born on June 27, 1949, in Philadelphia, PA, where her journey through life began, one marked by resilience and unwavering strength.

Patricia, a proud member of the Roman Catholic Church, faced numerous medical challenges in her early years but emerged with a spirit brightened by hope and determination. After graduating from South Philly High School in 1968, she took significant steps forward, moving to El Paso, TX, where her path crossed with the love of her life, Arnold Knoblich, on a blind date that blossomed into a beautiful marriage on June 10, 1978.

Throughout her fulfilling career as a pharmacy technician at Rite Aid Pharmacy, Patricia poured her heart into her work for over 30 years, earning her Pharmacy Technician Certification and setting an exemplary standard for those around her. She played an influential role in her community, notably starting the DARE Program in the Tri-Cities alongside Officer Blosser of Pasco PD, reflecting her commitment to making a difference in the lives of others.

A loving partner, Patricia was the best wife that Arnold could have ever asked for, as they shared 46 wonderful years together filled with love, laughter, and countless joyful memories. She is survived by her devoted husband, Arnie, along with brothers-in-law Don and Lloyd, sister-in-law Linda Knoblich, numerous grandchildren, and a host of cherished nieces and nephews. She also held a special place in her heart for her adopted sons, Jeff and Brandon.

Patricia was preceded in death by her father Thomas Boran, her mother Elizabeth, and her brothers Tommy and John (twins), James, Mathew, and Billy. She is also mourned by the memory of her sister Joan Stewart, whose absence will be keenly felt.

In honor of her remarkable life, friends and family will gather for a private service at High Point Church of God on Saturday, December 28, at 2 PM. Together, we will celebrate the love, laughter, and light that Patricia brought into our lives, cherishing her spirit as we come together in reflection and remembrance. Patricia will be laid to rest through cremation, with her memory forever living on in the hearts of those she touched.

Her unwavering love and compassion will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing her. Rest in peace, Patricia. You will be deeply missed, never forgotten
