Patricia A. (Fraytic) Petruska, 78, of Lebanon, passed away Sunday, March 6, 2022 at home. She was the wife of the late George J. Petruska, to whom she was married for 53 years.

Born in Lebanon, PA on March 14, 1943, Patricia was a daughter of the late Paul J. and Mary T. (Gaidos) Fraytic.

Patricia is survived by two children, Alicia A. Wike and Georgine K. Purcell, wife of James; three grandchildren, Blaine, Sidney, and MaKenna; a sister, Suzanne M. (Fraytic) Akerley; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents and a brother, Paul "Tom" Fraytic.

Her favorite pastime was to attend her grandchildren's activities and athletic events. She also enjoyed going out to eat with her family/friends and lunch bunch, and attending card club. She was a major advocate of her ESP PSEA and served many years as Southern Division President. Last but not least, she loved where she worked as a paraprofessional in the Lebanon School District at Henry Houck Elementary for 41 years. Her "kids" were the reason she continued to work up until last year when she retired.
