Patricia Ann

DeVito Bensimon

Patricia Ann (DeVito) Bensimon was born in Paterson, NJ and raised in the city’s Italian neighborhood. She passed away Friday in Canton, GA following a multi-decade battle with Myasthenia Gravis. 

Pat, as she was known, received her Registered Nursing credentials and worked in a variety of medical centers and hospitals in New Jersey. She would subsequently become a Medical Records Administrator at a Southern California trauma hospital. After marrying Albert Phillip Bensimon in September 1970, they began a journey of living in Illinois, New Jersey, Colorado, California, Florida and finally Georgia. All of the moves were coordinated by Pat who loved travel and new places. Her last move to Georgia coincided with the birth of her first grandchild, Anthony, and seven years later, her second grandchild, Gianna, became part of Pat’s life.

Pat is missed by her husband, Albert Phillip, her children, Albert Edward, and Nicole Mancusi, Nicole’s husband Lonny Mancusi, her grandchildren, Anthony and Gianna, and DeDe Bensimon of Louisiana. 

The family requests that any donations be made to the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (myasthenia.org, 800.541.5454, 290 Turnpike Road, Suite 5-315, Westborough, MA 01581).

The caring staff of Darby Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Mrs. Patricia Ann (DeVito) Bensimon.
