Patricia M. Zaremski
July 9, 1933 — April 20, 2023
Patricia M. Zaremski, 89, passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 20, 2023 at Daughters of Sarah Nursing Center in Albany, New York.
Born on June 9, 1933, in Albany, NY, to the late Benjamin and Blanche Kross of Colonie, NY. She was the youngest of eight children, five sisters and two brothers.
Patricia grew up in Colonie, NY, graduating from Roessleville High School. She was on the cheerleading squad and was crowned Homecoming Queen. After leaving high school, she began a job with the New York Telephone Company. One evening while square dancing at "Pat's Ranch" in Altamont, Patricia met John (Jack) Zaremski, Sr. It was love at first sight. They began dating and soon became engaged, with plans for marriage. They were married in 1953 and honeymooned in New York City.
Now a married couple, they returned home to their apartment at the Zaremski family farm in Guilderland Center, NY. Soon after, they moved to New Salem, NY. Sometime later they purchased their first home on Meadowdale Rd. in Guilderland Center, very close to the Zaremski family farm. There they raised their three sons, John (Jack) Jr., Michael (Mike) and James (Jim). As Mom would always say, I raised "My Three Sons" (like the tv program of those days). The family resided there in the beautiful country setting for decades, creating countless memories together: Baseball games, family gatherings and picnics, swimming in the ponds, long hikes in the woods, hunting, snowmobiling, ice skating, etc. Jack and Pat would later move into a lovely ranch home in the Woodlawn area of Schenectady, making it easier for them to move around.
Pat dedicated her life to being a wife, mother and grandmother. Her family was her life – her pearl of great price. She tirelessly served her family and others, especially children. It was what God called her to do in this life and she did it with excellence. To Mom, all of us say "Thank You so much". You are already greatly missed.
Survivors include her children: John Jr. (Colleen) Zaremski of Witherbee, NY, Michael (Mary) Zaremski of Guilderland Center, NY and James Zaremski of Colonie, NY. She will also be greatly missed by her grandchildren: Justin (Jen) Zaremski, Eric (Erin Wren) Zaremski and Sarah (Jason) Woods, as well as her great grandchildren: Anthony Zaremski, Noah Zaremski and Benji Zaremski. She is also survived by her only living sibling: Benjamin Kross.
In addition to her parents, Patricia was predeceased by her beloved husband of 54 years, Jack Zaremski, Sr., brother Harry and sisters: Harriet, Irene, Isabell, Marion and Rose. She is also predeceased by grandsons James and Brandon Zaremski.
At Patricia's request, a private memorial service will be held for immediate family.
