She was born in Claremont, NH on the lucky date March 17, 1928, the only child of the late Florida and George Desrosiers. She graduated from St. Mary High School in 1946. She married Donald E. DeCamp, the love of her life on June 28, 1952. They spent 61 wonderful years together.
Pat worked at several jobs but her most rewarding was a "domestic engineer" as she put it, that she retired from when her husband retired in 1990. They spent the next 23 years going back forth to New Port Richey, FL where they worked to perfect the game of golf, shopping, dinner dances and just having fun.
She has two daughters that she loved unconditionally. She was never sure about their choice in husbands but the girls were. Cynthia, her oldest and husband Robert K. Mitchell and Sandra and her husband E. Benjamin Battistelli II. She loved her granddaughter, Shannon Mitchell and enjoyed watching her grow into a strong and confident young lady. She has two married step grandchildren; E. Ben Batistelli III and his wife Ewa and Betsy Gordon and her husband Brent that she embraced into her family. Pat had many friends that she loved as family.
A service was held on Thursday, September 19, 2013 at Mt. Calvary Mausoleum, 474 Goffstown Rd, Manchester.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in her name to the Community Hospice House, 210 Naticook Rd., Merrimack, NH 03054.

Don...Sandy and Cindy and family. Our sympathy goes out to all of you. Losing the matriarch of your family...Mom...is so hard. She had the best husband and wonderful, caring daughters. She taught you well. xo
