Mount Pleasant – Patricia Jane (nee: Pedracine) Falduto, age 84, passed away unexpectedly, yet peacefully, at Ascension Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital in Milwaukee on Wednesday evening, March 5, 2025.
Pat was the daughter of the late Alvin and Bette (nee: Bennett) Pedracine. She was born on August 28, 1940 in Platteville, WI, moving with her family to Madison when she was five years old. Pat attended Franklin Grade School through 8th grade and then, Madison Central High School, graduating in 1958. She went on to attend UW-Madison and UW- Parkside.
In August of 1961, she married Thomas Jordan and together they had three children; Jeffrey, Kristin, and Mark. They later divorced.
Pat and her beloved husband, Joe Falduto, were married on February 6, 1982 in Racine, WI and had celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary shortly before his passing. They were very proud of the loving blended family their marriage created.
While in Madison, Pat worked in the City of Madison Planning Department. One of her favorite moments working there was meeting architect Frank Lloyd Wright when he came into the office to apply for a building permit for one of the famous buildings he designed.
After moving to Racine, Pat worked for SC Johnson & Son for 21 years in various areas including Communications, International, the Office of the President, and ending her career as Assistant to the Senior Vice-President of Worldwide Human Resources. She loved her work at SCJ and made many special friends worldwide over the years.
After retirement, Pat and Joe spent their winters in Scottsdale, AZ where Pat was a member of their Arizona community HOA Board for 5 years, as well as serving on the community auxiliary committee for many years. She was an avid reader and loved her Green Bay Packers. Pat and Joe were proud members of the Kenosha Ramblers’ Camping Club for over 30 years. The club members were like extended family and Pat loved being with them while enjoying their many excursions but, most of all, the fellowship and laughter they shared around the campfire. Pat and Joe enjoyed their travels around the United States and in Europe, but the times they loved the most, were spent with family – generations together not because they had to but because they loved being together sharing laughter and so much love. Pat told them many times that she “Loved them all to the Moon and Back”. And she truly did!
Pat was an active member of Christ Church United Methodist for over 50 years. She had also been a member of the Goodland School PTA Board for many years, serving as its President for one year. She was also both a Cub Scout and Brownie Scout leader.
Surviving are her children, Jeffrey Jordan, Kristin Jordan, Mark (Jackie) Jordan, Linda Falduto Broesch (Michael), Dr. Laura Falduto, Mary Falduto James and Grace Falduto; seven grandchildren who knew her as “Nanny”, Janelle Broesch, John (Missy) Broesch, Dominic (Kirsten) James, Julia (Paulie) Pulera, Collin Jordan, Patrick Jordan and Allison Jordan; great-grandchildren, Jovie & Mavis Broesch, Alivia & Rory Tummel, Nina & Paul Pulera, and Brynlee & Levi James; as well as her beloved sister, JoAnn Benzer; many special nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. In addition to her parents, Pat was preceded in death by her brother-in-law, Bob Benzer; and son-in-law, Tom James.

Mary Sue Langendorf says
I have so many fond memories of working with Pat on PTA functions when our kids all attended Goodland School. We kept in touch after she married Joe. What a wonderful couple they were! I especially remember a tail gate at a Brewer game in their camper. We had so many laughs. She was a very special lady, so devoted to her loved ones. My deepest sympathy to all of her family
