Patricia A. “Patty” LoCoco – 82 – formerly of 36 Oak St., Hornell, died Friday evening (February 28, 2025) at Elderwood at Hornell Nursing Facility where she has resided for the past three years.
Born in Montclair, NJ on August 7, 1942, she was the daughter of Joseph & Anna (LaFaro) LoCoco.
Patty grew up in Hornell and was a graduate of Hornell High School (class of 1960). She resided in Newport, RI for several years and when she was about 30 years old attended College near Newport, RI. While living in Newport, Patty was employed as Service Manager for Hoffman’s Steak House. She lived in Andrews, TX for about 8 years, returning to the Hornell area about 40 years ago.
For about 20 years, Patty was employed at the Hornell Association where she served in many capacities, including bartender.
Patty was a member of Our Lady of the Valley Parish and a communicant of St. Ann’s Church. She was a longtime member of the Hornell Association and a former member of the Hornell Moose Lodge. Patty was an avid New England Patriots fan (NFL) who loved Tom Brady. She was also a New York Yankee fan and had a lifelong affection for Newport, RI. She loved dancing and listening to 1950s music and spending time with great-grandsons, Carter & Camden.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Mickey Donahue; and her brother, Joseph LoCoco.
Surviving are 4 sons, Kevin (Melissa) Hughes (along with children, Denae, Andrea, Caitlin & Joseph), Joseph Hughes (along with children, Nilza & Joseph), Michael Hughes (along with children, Lisa Marie & Michael) and Sean (Collette) Hughes (along with daughter, Jesseca); 1 sister, Belinda Coleman; 19 great-grandchildren; 2 nephews Johnny & Michael, his niece, Shelly; along with 14 cousins.

My thoughts and prayers to Patty’s family. Patty was a sweet lady. I enjoyed getting to know her at the association. She always put a smile on my face. Rest in peace my friend.❤️❤️❤️
So very sorry to hear this. I called Patty last week, but the line was cancelled. Have been thinking about her so much lately. We are cousins. We had so many fun times remembering when we were little, yes we both remembered so much about our lives when we were young.
I came back to Hornell many times, and was always so happy to reconnect.
I will miss her laugh and smile. I have not been back to Hornell since Aunt Rosie passed.
My love and prayers go out to the family.
Please keep me informed about the service.
God bless, Donna
Belinda and family,
