Mrs. Elizabeth "Kim" Ann Brady

May 10, 1957 - June 11, 2021

Elizabeth Ann "Kim" Brady was born in Utica, NY, May 10, 1957 to Donald Jay Brady and Elizabeth Welch Brady. She was a surprise, a twin, born small, but with a formidable spirit. She would need this spirit to overcome many medical hurdles throughout her life. Kim grew up in Williamsport PA and in Hershey PA. She went to The Bement School in Massachusetts and Sanford in Delaware, then graduated from UMBC in Baltimore. She was nominated Who’s Who in college. She launched a career in software engineering and was a teacher. Kim's life was not short of dangers and perils. Rescued in the early 1990's from a volcano in Ecuador, and surviving many medical challenges against the odds, Kim experienced the miraculous. Kim met Rob Patterson in 1991. They got engaged soon after. They married in 2003. Life was amazing. Big ups, and big downs. Kim’s resilience and ability to endure was amazing. God's hand was truly upon her life. In 2020, Kim and Rob reconnected with Christ and with family, and grew closer every day. Kim went into cardiac arrest on June 1, and subsequently passed away peacefully on June 11, walking into heaven holding Jesus’s hand. Kim is survived by her loving husband Robert A. Patterson, Jr., mother Elizabeth Welch Brady, sisters Susan W. McCabe, Kathryn Irene Brady, and brother William Jay Brady, along with many family and friends who will miss her. A private viewing is being held for family and close friends. Kim’s ashes will be interred in Williamsport PA.
