Patrice Henry M Colson - It is with heavy hearts that we
announce the passing of Patrice Henry Colson on June 21,
2023 surrounded by her loving family. She was born August
28, 1959 in Newburgh to George F Henry and Marie Harris. She
was a 1977 graduate from Newburgh Free Academy. In
1982 she married her lifelong partner James Colson and
raised their family. Sadly he predeceased her in 2019. Her
most cherished role in life was raising her children. She
was actively involved in all her children’s activities.
She was a faith filled, kind and compassionate person who
embodied the spirit of a caregiver. She believed in the
power of prayer & was devoted to her faith in God. She
always made sure that people knew they had a friend in her
if they needed it & made it a point to let people know
that she loved them. In her spare time she loved to crochet,
enjoy the many shows on the food network and make jewelry.
Patrice had a special ability to make friends wherever she
set her feet & that is shown in how well loved she was
by so many special people. Over the last few years, she
spent a lot of time at Lawrence Farms & the
relationships she had cultivated there were kept so closely
to her heart. She would agree that they became a second
family to her. She is survived by her children Lisa Vitale
(Ed), Timothy Colson (Emily), Kelli, Brendan (Kaylee),
sisters Deborah (Bill) Graham and Judy Seymour and brother
Michael Henry, niece Melissa Caudill, nephews Bryan
(Gaitree) Graham, Sherman Tracey and their children; and
grandchildren Tabitha, Quinn, Jude, Chase, Jackson and
Clayton. Patrice's spirit will forever shine bright. She
will be deeply missed and never forgotten. Rest in eternal
peace. - August 28, 1959 ~ June 21, 2023
