NEW YORK MILLS – Patricia M. (Tomaszek) Spost, 74, passed away on January 15, 2021, at Faxton-St. Luke’s Healthcare with her family’s love in her heart. Born on December 6, 1946, in Southington, CT, she was the daughter of Joseph and Edna (Grygiel) Tomaszek. She was a graduate of New York Mills High School. On July 10, 1965, Pat married Donald Spost in St. John the Evangelist Church, New Hartford, a blessed union of 55 years. Pat was employed as a Civil Deputy with the Oneida County Sheriff’s Department prior to retiring. She will be remembered as the “go-to” person at work because if you wanted something done and done right, Pat was who you went to. Pat was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Her favorite pastimes included fishing with her great-grandson, Carson at the St. Lawrence River and enjoying games of chance at the casino. Surviving besides her husband, Don, are two sons, Don (Cherie Fairbrother) Spost, Jr. and Michael (Denise) Spost, all of New York Mills; grandchildren, Joey, Andrew, Courtney, and Claudia and great-grandson, Carson. Pat was predeceased by her brother, Joseph Tomaszek. Relatives and friends are invited to a Mass of Christian Burial to be celebrated on Tuesday at 11 a.m. at the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary. Entombment will be in Resurrection Chapel Mausoleum. In lieu of flowers, please consider remembrances in Pat’s name to Stevens-Swan Humane Society at www.stevens-swan.org. The Spost family extends their gratitude to the nurses and staff of Faxton-St. Luke’s ICU and Dr. Albert for the care and compassion shown to Pat.
