Patricia "Jean" Massicci, died Tuesday, July 25, 2017. She was born in Oil City, PA on July 24, 1930, daughter of the late Clyde and Gladyce Karns and was the widow of Mario Louis Massicci.

Jean graduated from hair styling school and worked as a hairdresser. She also was a homemaker, worked at Immaculate Conception School and Henry St. John School in the cafeteria and also worked in housekeeping at Cornell University and as a caterer with Millie Swanson and John Wells.

Jean was an associate of the Sisters of Mercy and a Eucharistic Minister at Immaculate Conception Church for many years. She loved being an associate and doing for others and traveling to the Mother House for their gatherings. She was also a member of the "Gorgeous Gals" Red Hat Society of Ithaca and was active with Maryanne Fitzpatrick with the Salvation Army. Jean also enjoyed Bingo, playing cards and doing puzzles. She was loved by many and truly will be missed. The family would like to thank the staff at Longview for the excellent care they gave Jean the last few months.
