SALISBURY — Patricia “Patti” Marie Habacker, 58, of 4 Hemlock Lane, Salisbury, passed away peacefully March 17, 2023, at Yale New Haven Hospital with her soulmate James Habacker by her side. Patti and Jim have been together since Feb. 14, 1981, and married on June 6, 1987, at their family estate in Salisbury. Patti and her bridal party arrived on a horse drawn carriage.
Patti was born in Bronx, New York, on March 15, 1965. She was the daughter of Michael and Sadie (Harden) Kelliher. Patti graduated from Baldwin Senior High School in 1983.
Patti moved to Salisbury in 1993 where she enjoyed a wonderful fulfilled life near a beautiful lake and where she and Jim raised 3 sons; Jimmy, Jonny and Joey. All three went on to attend Housatonic Valley Regional High School and were the captains of multiple sports teams.
For many years she assisted with the day to day operations of the Habacker family business. Her positive demeanor coupled with her work ethic was the perfect combination for a prosperous work environment.
Patti was a dedicated mother first and foremost, devoted wife, lover of animals especially her three fur babies Snoopy, Dudley and Jamie.
