SATARIANO (Kessler), Patricia A.
Patricia A. (Kessler) Satariano, age 83, of Clifton, Ohio passed away Saturday, February 15, 2025 at Springfield Regional Medical Center surrounded by her family. She was born April 1, 1941 in Dayton, Ohio to John W. and Hazel A. (Fann) Kessler.
Patricia graduated from Julianne High School, Class of 1959, and studied art at the University of Dayton with the intention of becoming a medical illustrator. She met her future husband, Anthony C.

Patricia was very active in the family business, the Historic Clifton Mill, especially in working behind the scenes and building and maintaining the famous Santa Claus collection. She was very proud to be a long time Breast Cancer survivor. Her favorite activities always included her family and friends, laughter and reading.
