Patricia Ormsby's Obituary
Patricia Carolyn Ormsby of Fort Myers, Florida passed away peacefully on November 20, 2020 surrounded by family after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.
Born on August 28, 1934 in Battle Creek, Michigan, daughter of the late Irene (nee Butler) and Clifton Fredrick Moss and sister to the late Frederick Clifton Moss; Wife to the late Charles “Wayne” Ormsby and the late H. Gibbs Andrews. Loving mother to James Elliott Andrews (Susan) and Gamma to Morgan Elizabeth, Caroline Frances and Holland Gibbs Andrews. She is also survived by her sister Rosalie Keller, nieces Erika Mickanen (Dave) and Lisa Barton (Mitch), nephew David Ehrens (Debbie), and good friend and companion James Hudson.
Patty and her late husband Wayne founded their successful advertising agency, Ormsby Ad Group. Patty loved traveling and enjoyed trips to Europe, Nova Scotia, Alaska, and the Holy Land. She appreciated her Irish heritage and most recently traveled to the British Isles and cruised back across the Atlantic from Lisbon to Florida. Patty had a fun and sometimes sarcastic sense of humor. She was a very neat and meticulous person who paid attention to details. Strong in her faith, she was a founding member of The Pilgrim’s Church in Fort Myers where she served as treasurer for many years. She loved her friends from Fort Myers and across the country and was especially thankful to the gracious people who checked on her, provided food, sent cards and well wishes during her final few months.
