Obituary's Biography:

It is with great sadness that the Babcox family must now announce the Valentine’s Day passing of Patricia A. Babcox, from natural causes.  Patty was born into the family of Earl and Cecilia Waters in 1949.  She leaves behind her sisters, Marguerite and Earleen Waters of Round Lake Beach, IL.  Patty was the greatest mother to her two sons, Michael Patrick Babcox and Nicholas Steven Babcox.  She also leaves behind her daughter-in-law, Sarah Elizabeth Babcox and two grandchildren, Lyla Jane Babcox and Evan Robert Babcox of Framingham, MA.  
Patty lived a full and happy life that revolved around her sons, family and design.  She was a highly acclaimed interior decorator and designer of high end draperies, for her many clients from the north shore of Chicago.  Patty was most proud of her work for actress/talk show host, Oprah Winfrey.  Patty produced top class draperies for Oprah’s homes in Chicago and in California.  She produced unique designs that also permeated Chicagos’s well-known Playboy Mansion, once owned by Playboy CEO, Hugh Hefner.  

Above all, Patty was most happy spending time with her sons and her grandchildren, Lyla and Evan.  If there is a more considerate person on this planet, we would like to know their whereabouts.  

Services will be for family only, followed by her cremation ceremony.  In lieu of flowers, a donation in Patricia’s name may be made to a local animal shelter of your choice.

  3. Pat was a wonderful person to be around.
    I met Her in 2005.
    Last week, when picking up some draperies, She was as cheerful as always and we were joking and chatting.
    Last night I was so sad to learn that She is no longer with us.
    Her family should be very proud of Her as I am.
    Nobody can make more beautiful draperies then Her and She was so humble and beautiful lady.
    I will miss Her greatly.

  4. I am stunned! I have been doing business with Pat for years. Her work was impeccable, she was always willing to help with the details needed to make every job perfect. Beyond that, she had a big heart & a great sense of humor. A truly kind person with a talent as a seamstress which is hard to find. She will be missed by many!

  5. I was so sorry to her about hear about Pat’s passing. She was a wonderful loving & caring person. Her design & creative talents were superior. She always had time to talk and explain how to do things and advise on design ideas. She also had a great sense of humor. We will miss her. My prayers to all of her family.
