In Loving Memory of Our Mom Patricia “Pat” Mack

A joyful elderly woman playfully embraces a young boy, both smiling, at a dining table with a plate showing leftover food.

Patricia “Pat” “Trish” Mack of Buffalo, New York, passed away on September 10, 2026, at the age of 83.

Pat was the daughter of the late Matthew and Josephine Grabowski. She was preceded in death by her husband, Donald F. Mack; her son, Donald M. Mack; and her sister, Rose Abate.

She is survived by her children, Jacqueline “Jackie” and her husband Brian, Gregory Mack and his wife Kayleena, and Douglas Mack; her sister, Christine; her grandchildren, Raechal George and her husband Christopher, Kristie Mack, Kelly Marie Johnson and her husband Lee, Melissa Ann Smith and Evan Webb, and Ryan Anthony Mack; and three great-grandchildren. She is also survived by extended family and many others whose lives she touched throughout the years.

Pat spent many years working alongside her husband, Donald, helping run the family business, Don’s Window Cleaning & Janitorial Services. Together, they worked hard, raised their family, and built their life in Buffalo.

Known by many as the self-proclaimed “God-Mother of Riverside,” Pat became a familiar presence to generations of her children’s friends and many others throughout the Riverside community. She was strong, stubborn, hardworking, caring, and humble in her own way.

In accordance with Pat’s wishes, there will be no funeral or memorial service.

For those who would like to honor her memory, the family asks that donations be considered to an organization supporting dementia research, education, caregivers, or families affected by dementia.

Our family is grateful for everyone who knew Pat, cared about her, prayed for her, or was part of her life throughout the years.

May she now rest in peace.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Psalm 34:18
