Patricia Anne Herter, born on July 27, 1948, in Norwood, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on May 13, 2025, in Tampa, Florida, at the age of 76.
Her dedicated and compassionate nature extended her professional life and her nurturing spirit touched the people who were fortunate to have her in their life. Her commitment to the well-being of others was a testament to her warm and nurturing nature.
Beyond her professional pursuits, Patricia was a devout Catholic, finding solace and strength in her faith throughout her life. Her interests were as vibrant and diverse as her spirit; she loved to travel the world, exploring new cultures through fine dining and shopping adventures.
Patricia was preceded in death by her beloved parents, John and Stella Okulovich Vlahos. She leaves behind a loving family who will cherish her memory dearly: her devoted husband of 53 years, John Herter; her sons, Chris and Mark Herter; her brothers, Stephen and Jackie Vlahos; and her sister, Carolee MacPherson.
