Patricia Ellen Fiore
6/29/1950 - 11/8/2026

With a deep love for her family and an infectious joy for life, we gather to celebrate Patti Ellen Fiore, who passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on November 8, 2026. At 76 years young, she leaves behind a beautifully rich legacy of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments shared with those closest to her.

Born in Puerto Rico on June 29, 1950, and raised in New Jersey, Patti was always ready for the next chapter. She lived in Colorado, Florida, and New York State before eventually finding her happy place in The Villages in 2012. Throughout her life's journeys, she shared many cherished road trip adventures with her daughter, creating memories that will be treasured forever. In The Villages, Patti truly embraced life's simple joys, discovering a wonderful passion for line dancing and enjoyed karaoke—a natural fit for a woman who always loved music and dancing. Partner dancing in The Villages is where she met her significant other, Russell F. King, Jr. Together, they traveled extensively throughout Europe and enjoyed beautiful cruises. A remarkably strong and resilient woman, even when a stroke in 2021 slowed her down, and another stroke in 2024 forced her to hang up her dancing shoes, her joyful spark never faded.

While we take comfort in knowing she is now reunited with her beloved parents, Alfred and Iris Maldonado, her warm spirit will continue to live on through those who loved her most. She is survived by her devoted daughter, Nicole, and her husband Milton Lucena; her brother, Alfred Maldonado, Jr. and his wife Kim; her niece, Christine Gonsalvez; and her nephew, Mark Maldonado. She also leaves behind her Aunt Donna and her husband James Naso—an aunt who was truly more like a sister—alongside a large, close-knit circle of cousins who were incredibly near and dear to her heart. We are so grateful for the wonderfully full, joyful life she shared with all of us.

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, November 12th from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM to celebrate the vibrant, fun woman Patti always was.
