Patricia Ann Salvucci

Patricia Ann Salvucci entered into eternal life on December 5, 2025. She was 95 years old. Pat was born on January 31, 1930, in Hartman, Colorado. She was the second of eight children born to Helen Louise and Oliver Perry Hill.

Pat was an excellent student, graduating from Holly High School as valedictorian then continuing her education at the Colorado State College of Education at Greeley. After graduation, she moved to Denver and began her career working for RKO Pictures then Buena Vista Film Distribution, an arm of Walt Disney Studios.

Pat attended Holy Ghost church where she was spotted by her future husband, Herman Salvucci. Herman knew a good thing when he saw it. Soon he “bumped” into her again at church, they started dating, fell in love, and married. Their union brought the births of three children, Lynn, Kenneth and Gary. She became a full-time mom.

When her children grew, she worked as a legal secretary for F. Nelson Pabst then the Isaacson & Rosenbaum Law Firm. She finished her career at Catholic Charities of Denver.

Faith, family and friends were her foundation. Pat was an active member of St. Catherine of Siena then Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic parishes. She belonged to the Mt. Carmel Ladies Auxiliary, the Altar and Rosary Society, and was a devoted volunteer with the St. Vincent de Paul Society. She loved making pizza fritta for the annual Feasts. She was an active member of the Sons and Daughters of Italy in America. She was a member of the Archbishop’s Guild, meeting women who would be her closest friends for over 50 years.

Pat is survived by her children Lynn (Nils) Lavine, Kenneth (Kelli) Salvucci, and Gary Salvucci; her grandchildren Kelsey Silipo, Aaron (Taylor) Salvucci, John David Shipp, Claire (Tony) Piazza, Alexander Salvucci, Madelyn Salvucci; great grandchildren Lyla Silipo, Austin Silipo, Luke Salvucci, Nick Salvucci, Lena Salvucci, Mia Piazza and Ann Piazza; her sisters Shirley Ketner and Mary Motz, her brothers John Hill and Jim Hill as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
