Patricia Ann Fallon passed away on August 23, 2021 in Charlotte, North Carolina at the age of 77 after a long illness. Pat was born in January, 1944 to John and Loretta Goff and grew up in Gloucester City, New Jersey. She was predeceased by her beloved husband of 46 years James (Jim) Fallon. To many, she was affectionately known as “Patsy.” Pat attended Sacred Heart grade school in Mt. Ephraim, Gloucester Catholic High School, and was a graduate of Glassboro State College (now Rowan University), all in NJ. Pat married Jim in 1965 and they were blessed with two sons, Chris and Sean, whom they raised in Audubon, NJ. She taught kindergarten for almost 25 years at Mansion Avenue School in Audubon. Pat was known for her dedication to her students and her creativity, especially with Halloween costumes. Pat had a love for travel, going to the movies, all things Phillies, and never missed a day doing her crossword puzzle. She was always ready for a trip to New York to see a show on Broadway. Pat and Jim loved the beach and spent many wonderful summers with Chris and Sean in Ocean City, NJ. Pat and Jim retired to Southport, NC in 2003 and enjoyed many happy years there until his death in 2012. Pat became a master gardener, learned to play golf and Mahjong, and was very involved in the crafting group at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Pat’s highest priority was always her family. She loved when her children and grandchildren visited every summer for family vacations. Her beef stew will be sorely missed.
