Wallis, Patricia F.

Wallis of Exton, PA; and son Joseph H. Wallis, III of The Woodlands, TX; grandchildren Brienne, Brian, Shannon, Sean and Megan and great-grandchildren Jared, Santina, Cara, Reagan and Avery.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be conducted at the Church of the Holy Child, 2500 Naamans Rd, Wilmington, DE on Saturday, February 1 at 10:00 am. Interment will follow at All Saints Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Pat’s memory to a local animal rescue organization.
