Patricia Ann Kamertz (née Schafer), lovingly known as Pat, passed away peacefully at home in Royersford, Pennsylvania on April 13, 2025, after a lengthy illness. She was 72 years old.
Born on February 7, 1953, in Orange, New Jersey, Pat was the daughter of the late George Schafer and Betty Schafer Halloran. She lived a life full of love, laughter, and radiant energy. Pat was outgoing, spirited, and known for her love of a good party. A loyal friend and devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt, she touched many lives with her warmth and kindness.
She found joy in the simple pleasures—sunshine on her face, sand between her toes, and the color pink, which perfectly matched her joyful spirit. She loved dancing with friends and never missed a chance to cheer on her grandchildren, whom she adored beyond measure.
Pat is survived by her three children: Stephen Kamertz (Wanda), Darren Kamertz (Nicole), and Kimberly Watson (Lindsay); her cherished grandchildren Cadin, Nason, and Nila; her sister Virginia Kesper (Clay); her nephew Kevin Kesper (Rachael); and her niece Valerie Bauer (Allan). She was affectionately known as "Grandma Pat" to Nickolas (Carle) and Miranda Henry (Garrett), who held a special place in her heart.
