It is with great sadness that we announce Patricia Harris Midgette passed quietly on August 29, 2024 after a determined and courageous battle with cancer. She was born to Robert and Audrey Harris on January 8, 1953, one of five sisters and learned at an early age to be responsible and self-reliant.
She was preceded in death by her father Robert, her sister Susan and her husband, Donald Midgette, Jr. Left to cherish her memory are her mother Audrey, sisters Carol, Jen, and Nancy, partner Steve Rose, daughter Danyle Howard (Dustin) and son Asher, five grandchildren, Brian, Drew, Brooklynn, Cason and Carter, as well as many beloved nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
She was a native of Virginia Beach, lived in Aragona and Lawson Forest, a graduate of Bayside High School class of 1971 and became a highly skilled beautician in the Virginia Beach area with a devoted following. She will be remembered for her love of dancing and the beach, her many gardens, baseball at all levels, and her many years managing honeybee hives. She found great joy in spending time with and spoiling her nieces, nephews, and grandchildren. Patty also had a deep love for Christmas, which she celebrated with warmth and joy each year, creating cherished memories with her family and friends. She was caring and resilient, with high standards, a gift for friendship, an optimistic view of humanity, a smile for everyone and a world-class sense of humor.
Patty’s family will gather privately to honor her. Online condolences can be offered at vacremationsociety.com
