August 4, 1947 - September 25, 2019

Patricia Mary Sebunia (age 72) of Springfield, VA passed away unexpectedly on September 25, 2019. Born on August 4, 1947 in Troy, NY, she was the daughter of the late Leo Keegan Sr. and Elizabeth Clickner Keegan. A fighter to the end, she courageously battled multiple myeloma for 7 years. She was the loving wife of Joseph Peter Sebunia; dedicated mother of Joseph (Amanda), Robert (Heather), Kimberly, and Christopher; beloved sister of Sandra, William, David, and Susan; doting grandmother to Brianna, Griffin, and Owen; cherished aunt and cousin to many. She was predeceased by her parents and brother, Leo “Bud” Keegan, Jr. The wife of a Navy officer, she traveled the world, putting her family’s needs before her own. She was soft-spoken, careful with her words so as not to offend, and never one to complain…even when she was in pain. She spent 17 years working retail at JCPenney during the day and returning home at night to take care of her family. Pat didn’t fancy herself a cook but she loved the Food Network, made dinner just about every night, and you’d be hard pressed to find a better chocolate chip pistachio cake or chocolate chip cookie in the area. She was also famous for her 20+ pound turkey dinners - no holiday required! She loved Air Supply, Celine Dion, and Neil Diamond, Bingo, Wheel of Fortune, and decorating for Christmas (especially with her snowmen). Her greatest love in life was her family. She made sure she split her retirement time between family in Virginia, New York, and Florida. She cherished her grandchildren and would drop everything to play whatever they wanted for however long they wanted. She was the Energizer bunny when it came to her grandchildren. Her love was endless. Her parting greeting to her family was always, “I love you” coupled with a hug that can still be sensed today. A lifelong Catholic, faith and church were very important parts of her life. Therefore, her family requests that In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to St. Raymond of Peñafort Roman Catholic Church.
