Patricia enjoyed many years as an administrator with the Department of Employment and Training for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. She later worked as a teaching assistant with Winchester School Department. For Patricia, family was everything. She was a dedicated daughter and a loving wife, mother grandmother, and sister. She loved her nieces and nephew, and lived her life as the glue who kept her family together and the rock everyone could depend on. Patricia loved life and had fun with everyone she knew. She looked forward to a Grey Goose cosmo or glass of wine with family or friends. She enjoyed an occasional trip to the casino and wherever and with whomever she went, fun was had by all. She will be missed by all who knew her, and they will always be inspired by the motto she lived by: “Family First”.
