Patricia A. (French) Woodman, age 92, a longtime resident of Chelmsford, passed away peacefully on October 20, 2020 at Sunny Acres Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Chelmsford. She was the beloved wife of the late Harold F. Woodman with whom she shared 45 years of marriage prior to his passing in 1992.

Patricia was raised in Lowell and worked for many years as a records keeper at Medical Associates of Chelmsford. Patricia was a longtime auxiliary member of American Legion Post 212 in Chelmsford. In her spare time, she enjoyed playing cards with friends, reading, and planning her own parties called "Find the Party". She tap danced in her youth and for years to come. Patricia was an avid football fan; she especially enjoyed watching the New England Patriots. Most of all, she cherished the time she spent with her family and friends. Patricia will be remembered as an exceptionally accepting woman who welcomed everyone with open arms. Patricia leaves her children; Sandra M. Graham of Virginia Beach, VA, Kenneth P. Woodman of Vero Beach, FL, Bruce H. Woodman of Lowell, and Deborah A. Cappella and her husband Gary of Chelmsford. Sadly, she is predeceased by her son Stephen R.
