Carole Louise (Sherbow) Patton

Carole Louise Patton, nee Sherbow, 75, of Selbyville, DE formerly of Sykesville passed peacefully, Sunday, November 26, 2023 at the Stansell House in Ocean Pines.  Born November 21, 1948 in Baltimore, she was the daughter of the late Theodore Sherbow and Sara Sherbow, nee Finkelstein.  She was the beloved wife of Ronald Edward Patton, her husband of 54 years, whom she married January 12, 1969; loving mother of Michele L. Schwartz and her husband James “Jim” and her son Michael “Mike” S. Patton; devoted grandmother of Alison, Ashley, Michael, and Cooper; cherished sister of Marjory S. “Margie” Goldberg; and is also survived by numerous cousins.

Mrs. Patton was a graduate of Milford Mill High School, Class of 1966.  She was a homemaker and later in life she worked for a local dental office and then later for Universal Souvenir Company in Pleasant Valley.  With her husband, they enjoy many trips to Aruba and other places throughout the world. After moving to Selbyville to retire, Carole found enjoyment in working in a local Jewelry Store in Fenwick Island, DE.  She most enjoyed jewelry and had many unique pieces.  She enjoyed spending time with her family and could be heard saying family is important.  Never was there a day that she would have a crossword with anyone and she was most gracious to everyone she met, even in her last days.  There was not a person who did not enjoy their time with Carole.  She was always making you feel right at home and always wanted to ensure you were taken care of and comfortable.

A celebration of her life will be held at a later date in Selbyville, Delaware.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be offered to The Macky and Pam Stansell House, Coastal Hospice, 1500 Ocean Parkway, Ocean Pines, MD 21811, in the memo line of your check, please reference In Memory Of Carole Patton.
