Faulkenberry, Patricia A., 62, native of New Jersey and long-time resident of Plantation, Florida, died on April, 16, 2026. Born September 3, 1963, in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, her family moved when she was young to Vienna, VA where she lived her childhood until going to college and graduating from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.

Pattie began work after graduation but soon married and focused on her true-life goal of raising children and enjoying her family. After marrying her husband and having two children, she moved with them to Florida in 1999 and resided in the home she loved for the remainder of her life. Although she was geographically distant from her family and old friends, she kept in constant contact with them maintaining an involvement in their daily lives. Outside of her love for family and friends, she had a passion for animals. She frequently visited wildlife sanctuaries and nature preserves and cared for a variety of animals in her home over the years. Much loved, Pattie is predeceased by her parents Joseph and Clara Herbert. Pattie was a loving wife and mother. Surviving family includes her husband Chip, son Walter of Boca Raton, FL, and daughter Katie, and her husband Taylor, in Bryan, TX.

She is also survived by a collage of people that she loved and who in turn provided her with emotional nourishment and support that she thrived upon. She adored her extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins; her old friends who became like family; along with the relationships she maintained with many of her children’s friends that she considered her “adopted” children.

A Memorial Service will be held at the Boyd Panciera Family Funeral Home on May 16, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM with a Tributes of a Lifetime Service at 12:00 PM.

In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to make a donation in Pattie’s honor to the Humane Society of Broward County.
