Carrillo, Patricia Mills 76, of Wellesley passed away peacefully with her family by her side on August 11. Pat was the beloved wife, for 54 years, of Angel L. Carrillo, the loving mother of Elizabeth Carrillo Thomas and her husband Mac of Wellesley, Alicia Carrillo and her husband John Sisk of Sudbury, and Alex Carrillo of Vashon Island, WA, and the devoted grandmother of Kate and Forest Sisk, and Nolan and Henry Thomas. One of Wellesley’s original soccer moms, Pat coached with Angel for many years in the Wellesley United Soccer Club. A chaperone for the Blizzard Ski Club, she became an avid skier, eventually introducing her grandchildren to the slopes and joining Waterville Valley’s Silver Streaks Ski Club. Pat loved music, theater, athletics and academics, proudly encouraging and supporting her children’s and her grandchildren’s passions and talents. After decades of urging others to play musical instruments, she enjoyed piano lessons during her retirement from Wellesley College, where she worked for 26 years and where she earned her bachelor’s degree.
