WINSLOW – Patsy Ann (Violette) Veneziano, 75, of Winslow passed from this life to the next on Sept. 27, 2022, at home with her children and life partner, Jack Pickett, by her side.

She was born in Waterville on Dec. 6, 1946, a daughter of Harvey and Ruth (Oliver) Violette. She graduated from Waterville schools.

Patsy worked in banking as a teller, as an office clerk for GHM Insurance Agency in Waterville and Miles Carpenter Insurance Agency in Skowhegan as well as an office secretary at the former law firm of Daviau, Jabar and Batten in Waterville. She could be described as very friendly and outgoing. She enjoyed engaging in conversations, sharing stories and experiences as well as her advice.

She found enjoyment in listening to music, reading, kayaking, taking trips to the ocean, sailing and flying as co-pilot to her life partner Jack. Spending time with friends and family, taking annual shopping trips to New Hampshire with a few of her closest friends and cheering on the New England Patriots were things she found great pleasure in. She was an animal lover and her dogs and cats were very special to her. She was a devoted and faithful Catholic.

Patsy was predeceased by her father, Harvey Violette, of Oakland in 2017, her mother, Ruth (Oliver) Violette, of Waterville in 1971; her brother, Larry Violette, of Oakland in 2010; her step-mother, Albertine (Dunton) Violette in 2016; and her former husband of 26 years, David Veneziano in 2000.
