Patricia A. DiGiacobbe 1940-2025
MASURY — With heartfelt sorrow, we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Patricia “Patti” Ann Toda DiGiacobbe, on Saturday, Nov. 1, 2025.
A lifelong resident of Warren, born July 16, 1940, she was the cherished daughter of the late August and Minnie Toda.
On Aug. 17, 1963, she married Alfred “Fred” DiGiacobbe. Together they built a beautiful life, grounded in faith and family. She was the devoted mother of Laura (Gary) DiGiacobbe, Tammi (Rudolph) Krafft and Anthony (Chris) DiGiacobbe. Her legacy continues through her adored grandchildren, Elena (Andrew) Schmitt, Ali Krafft, Michael Krafft, John DiGiacobbe, Paul (Erin) DiGiacobbe and Annamarie DiGiacobbe; and her precious great-grandchildren, Luka Schmitt and Nico DiGiacobbe.
She was preceded in death by her parents and brothers, Gus Toda and Richard Toda.
A woman of many passions, she found joy in gardening, cooking, and following sports — especially cheering on The Ohio State Buckeyes and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Her deep devotion to her family was evident in every aspect of her life. She especially loved planning holiday meals, pouring her heart into every dish and every detail. Her beautifully set tables always included her signature “table gifts” for the grandchildren at Christmas — a treasured tradition they will never forget. Her attention to detail in decorating and entertaining was truly Martha Stewart-worthy and made every gathering unforgettable.
True to her Romanian heritage, she often said, “If you can’t be strong, be stubborn,” a phrase that embodied her quiet strength and determination. A faithful and devoted member of St. John the Baptist Orthodox Church, she found profound spiritual peace in worship, particularly moved by the beauty of the choir during the Lenten season.
The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate staff at the Windsor House at O’Brien Memorial, with special thanks to Kyle for the loving care shown to our mother during her time at O’Briens.
She will be remembered for her strength, warmth, unwavering love, and the lasting impact she made on all who knew her. May her memory be eternal.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial contributions be made to the St. John the Baptist Orthodox Church Icon Fund.
Calling hours will be held from 10 to 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 5 at St. John the Baptist Orthodox Church, 2220 Reeves Road, Warren, followed by the Orthodox funeral service at 11 a.m.. Fr. Nicholas Wyslutsky will officiate.
