Patti Anne Kotusky

Patti Anne Kotusky (nee Grace), of Burlington, NJ, formerly of Maple Shade, NJ, passed away on November 9, 2025 surrounded by loved ones. Born in Camden, NJ to the late Thomas and Florence (nee Jenkins) Grace, she was 58 years old. Patti loved her family, including all of her friends that she thought of as family. She was an avid sports fan supporting the Eagles, Phillies and, when her family wasn’t looking, the NY Yankees. Patti was a huge Jimmy Buffet fan. As a Parrothead, she was a proud member of the Phlock of South Jersey and spent many countless hours celebrating the Parrothead lifestyle. The beach, specifically LBI and Key West, were her favorite places to be with her husband Joe. Her sisters from D-Phi-E held a special place in her heart. Homecomings and gatherings with them put the biggest smile on her face. After graduating from Monmouth College, Patti spent her professional career in the commercial finance industry. She started in the accounting department for a large corporate finance company and eventually rose to become a founding member of a privately held firm. Patti was highly respected in the industry and served a term as President of the Philadelphia chapter of the Commercial Finance Association. Patti had the kindest heart and anyone who knew her knew that she would do whatever she could to help. She loved nothing more than days by the beach and time spent with the people she loved the most. Her laughter, warmth and love of life touched everyone around her. She will be dearly missed by her family and friends. Patti Anne was the beloved wife of Joseph Kotusky for 26 years; loving sister of Kathleen Cava (Peter Jr.), Karen Ferguson (Kyle), Michael Grace (Kimberly), and Joni Holmes (Peter); dear sister-in-law of Robert Kotusky (the late Holly) and Maureen Kotusky (Ray Prontnicki); cherished aunt of Kelsey Stepanuk (Greg), Keith Ferguson (Brighid), Kristen Lopizzo (Eddie), Michael Grace (Meagan), Peter Cava III, Daniel Grace (Katherine), Stephen Holmes, Nicholas Holmes, Robert Kotusky, Maggie Doherty (Patrick), William Kotusky; Great aunt of Liam, Delaney, Owen, Lucas, Ainsley, and Madelyn.
