“Pat”

Pat died peacefully at home January 6 after a two year struggle with Hepato-Renal Syndrome. Born in 1940 in Harrisburg, PA, Pat lived in Carnegie, PA until she married her husband, David Rinn, in 1963.  Pat graduated from the Catholic University of America in 1963, with a BS in Physics.  She later earned a Master’s  in Computer Science from the University of Maryland.  She became a career employee for the Federal Communications Commission in 1978, where she rose steadily to become Deputy CIO until her retirement in 2014. She is survived by her husband of 55 years, Dave, and five children, son David Rinn (Janet) of Fall City, WA, daughter Cathy Rinn of Bethesda, MD, Beth Ericsson (Tom) of Point of Rocks, MD, daughter Maureen Simoni (Bill) of Gonzales, LA, and daughter Tricia Engel (Matt) of Monrovia, MD; and five grandchildren, Christopher and Alessandra Simoni, and Maddie, Ellie, and Abby Engel.  She is also survived by three brothers, numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and hundreds of friends who will all miss her dearly. She was a kind, generous, and selfless person who touched the hearts of everyone she met. We are all blessed to have known her.Family and friends will be received at Church of the Resurrection, 3315 Greencastle Road in Burtonsville, MD on Friday, January 11 from 1 to 2 pm, where a Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 2pm. In lieu of flowers, we invite you to make a donation to Mary of Nazareth Catholic School in Darnestown, MD, a school very close to Pat’s heart.
