Patricia A. Puglia, age 77, of Delray Beach, Florida, entered into eternal rest on June 26th, 2026.
Born on February 5, 1949, in Mount Vernon, New York, Patti lived a life defined by faith, kindness, family, and grace. She was the beloved daughter of Pasquale and Mary Luzzi, and a loving sister to her brother, Michael Luzzi, with whom she shared a lifelong bond.
In 1971, Patti married the love of her life, James Puglia. Together they built a life centered on faith, family, and enduring devotion. Married for 55 years, their relationship was a testament to partnership and unwavering love.
A devout Roman Catholic, Patti’s faith was a guiding force throughout her life. She prayed the Rosary daily, and carried forward values of love, compassion, and devotion that were instilled in her from an early age. Reflecting her caring nature and desire to serve others, she volunteered at Delray Medical Center, where she gave her time and compassion to patients, visitors, and staff.
A highly accomplished real estate professional, Patti built a successful career as a real estate agent in the State of New York. She was respected by colleagues and clients alike for her professionalism, integrity, and dedication to helping others find a place to call home.
Patti was truly a special person. She had a warm smile that could brighten any room and always found something kind to say about others. Her positive spirit, gentle nature, and genuine concern for those around her left a lasting impression on everyone she met. Known for her impeccable style and flair for fashion, Patti carried herself with elegance and confidence. Whether attending a family gathering, or simply enjoying time with friends, she always looked her best and inspired others with her sense of grace and beauty.
Patricia is survived by her husband James Puglia, loving children Janine (John) Keene, and Christopher (Margaret) Puglia; her cherished grandchildren, Noe’ll, Xavier, Julian, Crystal and Cassandra. She is also survived by her brother, Michael (Renee) Luzzi and nephews, Michael and Matthew.
Family and friends are invited to gather to celebrate her life and pray for the repose of her soul. A Vigil will be held on Tuesday, June 30th, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Glick Family Funeral Home, Boca Raton, Florida. A Mass of Christian Burial and Rite of Committal will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial donations be made to Operation Smile, to continue Patti’s legacy of giving.
