Patricia Ann ‘Pat’ Bonacorsi | 90 | Port Charlotte, FL
Patricia Ann “Pat” Bonacorsi, 90, of Port Charlotte, FL, passed away peacefully on Oct. 24, 2022, at the Port Charlotte Rehabilitation Center. Pat was born in Jacksonville, IL, on July 28, 1932, to Harold and Elisabeth Henderson (Tuite).
Pat graduated from Routt Catholic High School in Jacksonville, IL, where she met her husband, Edward Bonacorsi.
After working in a local jewelry store, Pat’s sister encouraged her to take a job in the Gibson Building as an administrative assistant. She married Ed in 1956, and spent their days operating several family businesses, including two pharmacies and a partnership in a fine dining restaurant in Jerseyville, IL.
Pat enjoyed life to its fullest, and to the very end, never lost her sense of humor or wit. Throughout her life, she enjoyed gardening, caring for her animals and visiting with her family. She especially enjoyed afternoons shopping and frequenting her favorite establishments in search of the perfect Cosmo.
Pat is survived by her son Robert Bonacorsi of North Port, FL; granddaughter, Ashley (Kyle) Stansbery and great-grandchildren, Isaac Lee and Ameila Jett.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Edward R. Bonacorsi, her sister, Mary Kathryn Hogan (Henderson), as well as her parents.
Pat was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and aunt. She adored her granddaughter and loved to visit with her great-grandchildren.
