Mary-Patricia Novotny Lastfogel, 52, passed away unexpectedly on July
24th, 2020 in Crofton, MD. Mary-Pat was born as one of five children
on September 16th, 1967 in Baltimore, MD to Joseph and Patricia
Novotny. After attending and graduating from Coastal Carolina
University, she married Charles Lastfogel and moved back to her
hometown of Crofton, where they had their daughter Caroline whom they
loved together fiercely. With a smile that lit up a room and a heart
of gold, she brought love and compassion to all who knew her. As a
dedicated Baltimore Orioles and Ravens fan, she often enjoyed going to
games with her daughter and brothers and cheering on her favorite
teams, decked out in her sports gear. A true Marylander, she loved to
eat crabs, cook, and spend time with her family. Holidays were often
spent together talking about past memories and plans for the next
get-together. She was a beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt,
and friend. Mary-Pat is survived by her parents, Joseph and Patricia;
her husband Chuck; her daughter Caroline; her brothers Joseph (Lisa),
Jeffrey, and Matthew; her sister Elizabeth; and her nephews, nieces,
and great-niece.
A private mass for the family will be held on Saturday, August 1st at
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish in Crofton, MD; a link to a live stream
of the mass will be posted online. In lieu of flowers, please consider
making a tribute to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish in Mary-Pat’s name.
