Obituary for Patricia Ann Drybola
Patricia Ann Drybola, a lifelong resident of Sellersville, passed away Wednesday, October 6, 2021, in Jefferson Health-Abington, Lansdale Campus. She was 73.
She was the beloved wife of Carl E. Drybola for 53 years, having just observed their wedding anniversary on August 30.
Born in Sellersville, she was the daughter of the late Kenneth R. and Elsie M. (Bauman) Bloom. She was a 1965 graduate of Pennridge High School, Perkasie.
Mrs. Drybola had been employed as a clerk at the former Perkasie Industries.
A long-time member of St. Agnes Catholic Church, Sellersville, Patricia had served on the Altar Guild and volunteered in the Adoration Chapel, where the quiet peacefulness of the chapel and the reading of Mother Angelica’s books were mainstays to her faith.
Patricia had also volunteered at Care & Share Thrift Shoppes, Souderton.
Mrs. Drybola had loved going on cruises with her husband, enjoying trips to Hawaii, Alaska, Canada, and the Caribbean. She had proudly organized and supervised their Disney cruise. She had loved the solitude of walks in the park. Her greatest joy, however, was in time spent with her family and in observance of her faith.
Patricia’s kind heart and generous spirit will live on with those who knew her. Her love and memory will never pass away.
