Nicola Wessely Patitucci, 50, died on March 22, 2021, at her family home in Plantation, Florida.   

Nicola was born on August 23, 1970, in London, England, to Josie Keogh.  She was raised by loving parents, Josie and Barney Keogh.  She attended Burnham Upper School and continued her education at Windsor and Maidenhead College.  After completing her education, she went on to have a successful career in the Casino and Cruise Industry. 

In March of 1997, Nicola met Marco Patitucci in Miami Beach and were married on December 2, 1998.   Out of this loving relationship, Marco and Nicola were blessed with three beautiful girls, Sydney, Teagan, Lily, and a handsome son, Max. 

On April 10, 2010, Nicola received the Holy Sacraments of  Baptism, Communion, and Confirmation at All Saints Catholic Church, where she remained an active member by serving as a catechist and volunteering her time at the church and school. On August 17, 2012, she was proud to become a United States Citizen.

Her interest included travel, yoga, fitness, listening to music, reading, and socializing with her friends and family. Nicola touched the lives of many, and her catch phrase was “I am OK, Birdy.”  Nicola believed she was “Totally blessed!! Love, life and the journey are all it’s about darlings!”

Nicola is survived by her parents, Josie Keogh and ­­­Barney Keogh; her loving husband, Marco Patitucci; their four children, Sydney Patitucci, Teagan Patitucci, Lily Patitucci, and Maximus Patitucci; her brother, Robert Wessely; and her nephew, Charlie Wessely, a member of the Queen’s Guard; and the many friends she held near and dear to her heart.

There will be a Mass at All Saints Catholic Church in Sunrise, Florida on March 29, 2021, at 11 am.   In Commemoration of her vibrant life, she would have loved to have had a colorful celebration, please dress accordingly.  Following Mass there will be a casual Celebration of Life at the Patitucci residence from 2 pm to 5 pm.  Please bring a pot-luck food item and your favorite picture of Nicola. 

In lieu of flowers, please donate in her memory to St. Vincent De Paul.  Arrangements by T.M. Ralph Funeral Home 954 587-6888
