Pat was an avid painter and enjoyed yoga and tai chi into her 90s. Her last painting, a floral titled “Rapture,” was exhibited in Honolulu, Hawaii in 2014.
Pat is the daughter of Anton and Anna Madansky of New Jersey. She was predeceased by her husband Edward Kilinski of Warwick.
She is survived by her daughter, Patricia Kawa’a and her husband, Earl and granddaughter, Yahna of Oahu, HI; her son, Michael Kilinski and his wife, Darlene of Maui, HI; her daughter, Candy Kazmar and her husband, Bill, granddaughter, Jenny and grandson, Kevin of Pine Bush, NY; and by many great nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.
Pat was athletic throughout her life. She grew up playing basketball, baseball and loved water skiing. She was an avid homemaker and devoted to her family, who would often wake to the aroma of freshly baked bread and homemade jam. She was curious and adventuresome and will be deeply missed by family and friends.
