Patty W. Huard of Ormond Beach, Fla., formerly of Gloucester, Va., passed away suddenly on Jan. 26, 2023. She was the daughter of Joseph H. Warner Sr. and Olise (Shepard) Warner of Newport News, Va.

Patty was a longtime employee of Gloucester County Public Schools. Most recently, she was the Enrollment Specialist at Lourdes Academy in Daytona Beach, Fla., until her retirement in 2019. Patty’s love of children and can-do attitude with families were evident every day and instrumental in making a positive difference in the lives of many students over the years.

Always ready with a smile and kind word, Patty enjoyed interior decorating, cooking and her beloved dogs. More than anything, she cherished spending time with family and friends, especially when by the water.

She is survived by her husband Mark; daughter, Laura and husband Kevin; brother, Joseph Jr. and husband Nick; stepdaughter, Kelly and husband Ryan; stepson Brian, and grandchildren Hunter, Avery, Wren and Moses. She was predeceased by her daughter, Amanda, and sister, Judy.
