Patricia A. Bory

With heartfelt sorrow we announce the passing of Patricia "Patti" A. Bory, 77, on November 6, 2026, following a long battle with a severe illness. She was the daughter of Rose M. and Rexford E. O'Neil, and sister of Rexford "Reggie" (Ann) O'Neil. She was predeceased by her parents and late husband, Daniel E. Susice, with whom they had three children. Patricia is survived by her husband, Stephen J. Bory, and her children and their spouses, Christine (Robert) Rutherford, Mathew (Angela) Susice, and Lee (Stacey) Susice. She had four grandchildren, Danielle (Thomas) Emburey, Brittany (Jared) Sharlow, Kevin (Skyler) Susice, and Jenna Susice, as well as three great-grandchildren, Violet, Natalie, and Jack.

Patti grew up in the North Country and graduated as Valedictorian of her class at St. Regis Falls Central School. She completed college courses and was a bank teller before becoming Branch Manager at Community Bank N. A. Throughout her career, she was Branch Manager in Massena, Ogdensburg, and St. Regis Falls, NY. She retired from the St. Regis Falls branch a well-known and respected member in the community. Patti and Steve also owned and operated the Timber Tavern in Parishville, NY for many years.

Patti loved her family fiercely; you could find her at many community and school events rooting for her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed cooking, baking, perfecting recipes, gardening, walking and spending time with her grand dogs, feeding and watching the birds, and sewing. In her retirement, she and her family participated in numerous parades. Her talent for sewing intricate, larger-than-life costumes brought happiness to local communities. As the matriarch of her family, Patti was always there for her family and friends with open arms, a delicious home-cooked meal, a sympathetic ear, and the advice they were seeking. She will be missed dearly by all who loved her.

Patti wished to extend her heartfelt appreciation to the dialysis team who cared for her over the years, including Elna, Marcy, Suzanne, Mary, Pam, PAs Matt and Korynn, and Dr. Hurwitz. Per her wishes, there will be no public services. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the National Kidney Foundation.
