I was asked to post this for Patty's family. So sad. 
"Patricia Ann Nilan, 49, of Santa Rosa Beach, FL, left this world on Monday, June 8, 2009. Her friends and family will gather for a memorial service on Sunday, June 14, at 7:00 a.m., along Grayton Beach, a place that gave her tremendous peace.
Patty lived in Santa Rosa Beach for the past 10 years, and was owner-operator of "Beach Eats," a gourmet deli. She found her niche in culinary ventures and delighted in preparing and serving delicious meals to her friends. She enjoyed the beach and the laid-back lifestyle of this area.
She is survived by her mother, Eleanor Nilan, of Stone Mountain, GA, sisters Diane Nilan of Lisle, IL; Sue Wanzer (Chuck) of Blowing Rock, NC; brothers Michael (Ann) and Christopher (Colleen) of Atlanta, GA; and nieces Christen and McKenna; and nephews William, Christopher, Drew, Patrick, Michael, Taylor and Keller. Bill Nilan, Patty's father, preceded her in death in October 2008.
Her 2 beloved rescue dogs, Schmoozer and Tigger were by her side all the way to the end.
The family requests no flowers. Memorials may be made to HEAR US Inc. (Hear Us : Ending Homlessness), Diane's nonprofit organization that helps homeless families."

Was so sorry to hear this....always hard when it's someone in the community. Was always running into her in Grayton. Prayers for her family and friends.
