Patricia Jeanne Prescott

Patricia Jeanne Prescott (Kennelly), 97, of Lansdale, PA passed away on April 11th. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Harvey Joseph Prescott and loving son, John Kerby Prescott. She is survived by her sons, Andrew Prescott and Peter Prescott (Eileen). Pat was a proud Grandmother to Kera Prescott, Daniel and Megan Elliott. Born in the Bronx, Pat was known as a walking dictionary in her early years, learning a new word each day from her uncle on their daily walks to school. After graduating high school, Pat sold and modeled sportswear at Bonwit Teller, a fancy department store in New York City, where her celebrity clients included Ava Gardner, Marlene Dietrich, and Joan Blondell. Pat moved to the Philadelphia area with her family in 1950. While visiting Bermuda, her first trip outside the US, Pat met her future husband, Harvey. He saw her on a boat ride and thought she was a British tour guide. When he found out that she had been kidding around with her accent, he introduced himself. They drank rum swizzles and danced to hits of the day, including “You, you, you, I’m in love with you!” They married in 1954, moved to the Lansdale area in 1958 and started Harvey Prescott Insurance, a very successful, independent agency in the heart of the community. They had three sons, each of which were Pat’s pride and joy. Pat was a great communicator, who enjoyed bringing people together. At America Olean Tile, she worked public relations and later at North Penn Hospital, she created The Pulse, a news magazine for the area hospital. In 1980, Pat earned associate's degree in Montgomery County Community College. She enjoyed spending time with her friends and neighbors, especially playing bridge and visiting the theater. Patricia lived a very long, full, and happy life. Her personality and beautiful smile always lit up the room. She will be missed dearly by all of her family, but especially her son Andy, who has served a her caregiver for the past few years. Relatives and friends are invited to her funeral mass, 10:30am, Wednesday, April 16th, 2025 at the Corpus Christi Church, 900 Sumneytown Pike, Lansdale, PA 19446. A viewing will be held in church from 9:00-10:30am on Wednesday morning. Interment Whitemarsh Memorial Park, Ambler PA.
