Patricia (Broin) Santo

Patricia Ann Santo (Broin), mother to Kristen and Stephanie, passed away on October 6, 2025 at 11:59 pm after a long battle with Alzheimer's. She was born on June 30, 1944 to parents Leander and Cora Broin. She was a graduate of Gonvick High School. Her final moments were spent at home with her family in North Carolina.

Known for her firecracker personality and incredible style, Patricia will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Her family asks that she be remembered for the joy she brought others in life not the sadness of her passing as that is how she would have wanted it.

She is survived by her two daughters, Stephanie and Kristen, her grandsons and many others that loved her.

A private family gathering will be held in North Carolina and also in Arizona, where she will be laid to rest at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona with the love of her life, Alfio Santo. In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family requests that donations be made to Cure Alzheimer's Fund (curealz.org) in memory of Patricia.
