Patricia Ellen (Joyce) Crawford of Racine, Wisconsin, passed away on August 10, 2026, surrounded by her family.

Born on November 10, 1947, to Robert C. and Nora (Corcoran) Joyce in Youngstown, Ohio. She was raised in Boardman, Ohio and was a 1965 graduate of Cardinal Mooney High School of Youngstown. In August of 1967 she married her one and only, William ("Butch") Crawford and together they raised two children in Salem, Ohio. She and her family relocated to Racine, Wisconsin in 1986 but she remained a "Buckeye" at heart.

Patty loved music, dancing, and her Salem card club, but mainly her family and friends were her true loves. Long distances never kept her from those whom she loved. She was famous for talking for hours to those closest to her and sending greeting cards just to say hello- something she inherited from her mother.

She is survived by her husband of 59 years, William ("Butch"}, her son Paul ("Butchie") of Boston, MA, daughter Molly and her husband Reginald Polk of Racine. Patty will be missed by her granddaughters Devon Dhuey, Jordon Polk, and Hailey Polk along with grandson Trey Polk. Patty counted her great grandchildren Ezekiel, Elizabeth, Kenan, and Keziah as true blessings. She was the big sister to brothers Timothy (Susan) and Robert T. (Lisa) Joyce of McDonald, Ohio and Munroe Falls, Ohio respectively.

In addition to her parents Patty is preceded in death by her brother, Robert Michael Joyce.

In lieu of a service it was Patty's wish to be remembered with a smile and a good laugh shared between friends.
