Patrick “Padraic” “Patsy” McDonough, age 90, of Quincy, died peacefully, Monday, January 12, 2026 at home, surrounded by his loving family.

Patrick was born in Lettercallow, County Galway, Ireland, to the late Annie (Daly) and Patrick McDonough. Raised and educated there, he immigrated to the United States in 1957, settling in South Boston and then Dorchester where he lived before moving to Quincy thirty years ago.

He was employed as a laborer for Local 223 for over forty years.

Pat enjoyed growing vegetables in his garden, especially his tomatoes which he loved giving away to family and friends. He had a great sense of humor and loved having company over to share his jokes. His greeting was always, “How do you like this country?” and his parting quip was “Thanks for not staying too long!”
