Patricia A. MacMahan, 85, of Walton, formerly of Paine's Hollow, NY passed away on Saturday evening, February 6, 2016 at home, surrounded by her family.

Patricia was born on May 15, 1930 in Detroit, Michigan, the daughter of the late Lewis and Betty (Smith) Burch. She was married to Arthur S. Fusco for almost 25 years and then later married Charles MacMahan, who preceded her as well.

Patricia led a bold and adventurous life: mother of six children, moving coast to coast with her handsome Navy man, Art. Patricia took care of the home front, while Art was on the military front. They retired to Paines Hollow, where the adventure continued with life on a small 50 acre farm and close to Fusco relatives. Besides raising a large family, Pat loved gardening, sewing, entertaining and reading. She will be remembered as an elegant, strong and beautiful woman, who cherished her family.

Patricia is survived by her loving family, children, Rick Fusco (Bosha) of FL; Kathleen (Rod) Jones of Walton; Mary Lou Cutter (John) of Webster; Leonard (Kathy) Fusco of MI; Linda (Tim) Socha of AK; David (Lisa) Fusco of MI; grandchildren, Ricky, Jenny, Brandon, Matthew, Rachel, Ann, Caitlin, Lauren, Erin, Will, Ericka, Christopher, Skylar, Faith, Ryan, David, Laura, Maria, Olivia, Alyssa, great-grandchildren, Paedrin, Jane, Roran, Arya, great-great grandchildren, Isis and Lars, and several nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was predeceased by her husbands, and her sister, Clara Jean.

A graveside service will be held at Oak Hill Cemetery, Herkimer, NY in the spring. Arrangements are with Courtney Funeral Home, Walton.
