MILTON - Patricia Dumas Babbie, of Milton, died Sunday, April 6, 2008, at home with her three sons by her side. She was 75.

Born Aug. 4, 1932, in Moores, N.Y., to the late Joseph and Irene Kingsbury Dumas Averill, she was the youngest.

She graduated from Moores Central School in 1950.

Patricia attended the Plattsburgh (N.Y.) Business College and worked for several businesses in Plattsburgh.

Later in life she moved to Jacksonville, Fla., where she owned her own business, Three T's Tavern, for a number of years.

In the early 1980s she moved to Delaware where she enjoyed a career in real estate.

In her retirement years, Patricia found pleasure in care giving for the elderly.

Throughout her life she enjoyed reading, gardening and working on puzzles.

She most treasured her time with her sons and her extended family.

Patricia was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Lawrence Dumas and Joyce Dumas.

She leaves behind her three beloved sons, Trevis Babbie of North Pole, Alaska, Terrance Babbie of Milton, and Timothy Limberger of Churchville, Md.; a beloved sister and brother-in-law, Gertrude and Albert Dean of Moores; a special aunt, Mary Hogle of Moores; nine nieces; three nephews; nine cousins; and her most precious gems, her seven grandchildren.

The memorial service in her honor will be 10 a.m. Saturday in Epworth United Methodist Church, 19285 Holland Glade Road, Rehoboth Beach, with a reception following at The Baycenter at Ruddertowne in Dewey Beach.

Instead of flowers, the family requests contributions to be made in memory of Patricia Dumas Babbie to Delaware Hospice, 100 Patriots Way, Milford, DE 19963.
