JOAN MARIE PATTERSON

PATTERSON, Joan Marie (Cargill) Age 94, passed away peacefully, in her Woonsocket, RI home, on Saturday June 28, with family at her side. Born July 10, 1930 in Melrose, MA, she was the daughter of Francis and Eileen (Keefe) Cargill, the oldest of five. Joan attended St. Mary's Catholic High School, and worked for several years at a Boston bank, before marrying Hedley V. Patterson, III in 1954. They went on to raise two children in Woonsocket, where Hedley was the District Engineer for close to 40 years. In addition to family, Joan was involved in community during those years, a devoted Sacred Heart Parish volunteer, an avid gardener, and a long-time member of the Woonsocket Garden Club. Once Hedley retired, Joan and he pivoted to the business of buying/selling antiques and collectibles. They were active members of the Southeastern New England Antique Dealers Assn., and aside from her devotion to grandchildren and great-grandchildren, antique dealing was a constant passion for the rest of her life. The Wake will be held at O'Neill Funeral Home, in CUMBERLAND, on Monday, July 7, from 5pm – 7pm. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place at Holy Trinity Parish, in Woonsocket the following morning, at 10 am, Tuesday July 8.
