Red Bank resident, Patricia Rose Agius, passed away on Jan. 16. She was 82.

“Born in Jersey City and raised in Bayonne, Patricia carried with her a deep appreciation for family, tradition, and togetherness.

“Known for her quick wit and her gift for making others laugh, Patricia also expressed her love through cooking for her family and friends. Her kitchen was a place of comfort, celebration, and countless family stories — a space where she nourished both appetites and spirits …

“A devoted homemaker, Patricia created a warm and welcoming home where love, laughter, and good food were constants. Despite facing many health challenges over the years, she maintained a remarkably positive outlook — a quiet resilience that inspired everyone around her.
