Patricia Ann (Goulart) Silvia, 79, formerly of Wilmington, North Carolina, left us to go be with our Lord on Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026.

She was born on December 26, 1946, and was daughter of Antonio H. Goulart, Sr. and Philomena (Terra) Goulart.

Patricia was a very sweet, loving and generous mother who loved her children dearly.

Patricia's friendships were among the greatest joys of her life.

She will forever be remembered for her big heart, loving kindness and unique sense of style.

Patricia was caring, fun-loving to family and friends and to people who crossed her path.

She leaves behind a legacy of warmth, grace and kindness and will be deeply missed by all that knew her.

Those left to cherish her memory are her son: Andrew King Silvia III; daughters: Carol Ann (King Silvia) Weckesser and Michelle (Dustin) Elks; her brother: Barry Goulart; her former sisters-in-law: Debbie Goulart and Paula (Goulart) Southworth; a grandson: Emmett Elks and many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.

Patricia was predeceased by her parents and brother, Antonio "Skip" H. Goulart, Jr.
