Patricia Ann Wakefield Zinn

Patricia Ann Wakefield Zinn, 67, of Hanover, died peacefully with family by her side, on Sunday, November 14, 2021 at UPMC Hanover following a sudden illness.

Born on Saturday, April 10, 1954 in York, she was a daughter of the late Eugene C. and Betty M. Fry Wakefield. She was preceded in death by a great-grandson, George W. Swartz II, Jr. and her beloved dog, Stuart.
