Patricia Brennan MacEnroe died Friday, March 30, 2012. She was born on March 17, 1925, in Flushing, Queens, the daughter of Frank A. and Miriam Heidenis Brennan. Pat was a member of St. John the Evangelist Church in New Hartford, NY, where she was a Eucharistic minister, a lector, a parish visitor, a charter member of the funeral choir, and served on the Bereavement Ministry. She was also a member of the New Hartford Adult Dining and Activity Center where she was President of the Senior Council. Pat loved New York City and was delighted that she had grown up there. She made her social debut at the Knights of Columbus Charity Ball held at the Waldorf-Astoria. Pat met her husband, John MacEnroe, while they were students. She was at Fordham University; he had returned to Manhattan College after having served three years in the Army Air Force, Pacific Theatre. The intense rivalry of the two schools in the sports arena in no way dampened their friendship. They were married in St. Kevin's Parish in Flushing on July 2, 1954. John and Pat were selected by the town of New Hartford in 1990 for its Community Service Award and were chosen Senior Citizens of the Year by the Oneida County Office for the Aging in 2003. John died on August 7, 2010. Surviving Pat are her five adult children and their spouses. They are John and Susan and their children, Patrick, Meghan and Adam, Tricia and Cliff, Paul and Michelle and their son, and Alex, Maureen and Sam and their daughter, Jenny, and Mary. She is also survived by her sister, Miriam; and brothers, Ed and his children, Miriam, Mary, E.J., Peter, Kevin, Virginia and Catherine, and John and Charman and their children, Ian and Sarah. She is survived, too, by a niece and nephew, Patricia and Frank Brennan; and her Goddaughters, Miriam Potthoff and Shelley Bialka. Pat was predeceased by a brother, Frank, in 2009.
