Patti Ann English, 84, of Brandon, FL, passed away peacefully on November 11, 2024. Patti was born in Akron, OH to the late Irene and Wilmer "Blackie" Wilkerson on July 26, 1940. She met the love of her life, the late Richard English, and they married and started a family together. Patti also enjoyed her career as a realtor. They moved to Florida in 1976, and she continued a career in real estate. Patti enjoyed so many things – fishing, boating, and camping with her family. She loved being outdoors and took pride in caring for her beautiful flowers.  Her family meant everything to her. After Richard's passing in 2003, Patti's strength shined. She was a fiercely strong and independent woman who always made sure her children were taken care of and were happy. Her grandchildren, Becca and Shawn, brought her so much joy. She loved to cheer Shawn on at his races, or to share an art class with Becca. Though Patti is no longer here with us, she will live forever in our hearts. She is survived by her children, David English and wife Joey, Richard (Rick) English, and Kimberley English; her grandchildren, Rebecca English and Shawn English; her sisters, Debbie Clark and Cindy Tallman; and a beautiful extended family of cousins, nieces, nephews, and more. Her family and loved ones will gather at Serenity Meadows Funeral Home for an intimate service, followed immediately by a graveside service beside her beloved Richard.
