Patricia was born on March 16, 1930, youngest daughter of the late Karl and Marie Foster of Nunda, NY. Pat spent most of her adult life in Clifton Springs, NY and was a long-time member of the Clifton Springs United Methodist Church. Her strong faith anchored her life and made her a person of kindness, compassion, generosity, commitment, and good cheer. She prioritized family, always putting their needs first, and loved gathering them together, especially in her home or at the family cottage on Cayuga Lake. She formed strong bonds with her grandchildren and always went the extra mile to be part of the important events in their lives. Music made Pat's heart sing and she could often be observed humming a tune or swaying to a beat. She loved dancing (both sacred and social), travelling, playing card and board games (that she usuallly won) and was an enthusiastic cheerleader for her favorite tennis players (Nadal, Djokovic) and sports teams (Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers, Syracuse Orange). She was famous for sayings like "horsefeathers" or "I'll chew your ear," and her family will miss seeing her signature wave farewell from the kitchen window. Pat cherished her friends and often expressed how blessed she felt by their presence in her life. Those who knew her will remember Pat's warm heart, hospitality, easy joking and laughter, and the way her smile would light up her face. Pat is survived by five children: Chris Linsner-Cartwright of Rochester NY, Sat Kartar Kaur Khalsa of Millis MA, Marcy Linsner (Charles Cassidy) of Syracuse NY, Frederick Linsner, Jr and Jeffrey Linsner (Holly Adams) of Clifton Springs NY; seven grandchildren: Tessa (Anthony) Chefalo, Gillian (James) Finley, Nicole (Shaun) Molchanoff, Rachel Linsner (Ben) Uveges, Spencer (Julia Imbierowski) Linsner, Audra Linsner, Amelia (Peter) Siganowich; four great grandchildren: Hazel, Violet, and Briar Chefalo and Warren (Wren) Uveges; numerous loved nieces and nephews and many dear friends. She was predeceased by her husband Frederick Linsner Sr and her daughter Diane Linsner. The family would like to express their gratitude for the excellent care Pat received at Thompson Memorial Hospital and Ewing Continuing Care Center in Canandaigua, NY. Our thanks to the Cheney Funeral Home in Phelps NY for their skillful handling Pat's funeral arrangements.
