I was so sorry to hear of Pat's passing.We spent many years at the Kennedy School working together.. We were a big part of Saint Catherine's parish and served on many committees together over many years. She was always so kind and a smile for everyone. She will always be part of my fondest memories raising our children in the St. Catherine's neighborhood. and our dedication to our family and faith. My deepest condolences to all the Quinlan family at this very sad time. Sincerely, Donna Fantasia and family

I was so sad to read about Pat´s passing..I was the art teacher at Kennedy School when she was a paraprofessional teacher there. I saw her every day for years. She was so spry and energetic that I cannot believe I have outlived her- though I am five years younger. Pat was one of the kindest, friendliest, and upbeat people I have known. After I retired nine years ago, I sometimes ran into Pat shopping around Somerville. Seeing her always made me smile. I just sent her birthday wishes on Facebook earlier this month and had no idea she might be ailing. My heart goes out to her family. May she Rest In Peace.

We have many fond memories of Pat especially at Thanksgiving. Pat was excited to take home leftovers and then make turkey soup with the turkey bones to share with the family. Later that day she anxiously asked all the grandchildren what they wanted for Christmas and then planned her trip with Donna for the Black Friday deals. Pat loved spending her time with her family as was evident in her laughter and conversations with the grandkids. We will always remember the Disney vacations together with Kevin, Lora and the grandkids. Then to get a break from it all we enjoyed a glass of wine together. Pat truly looked forward to that time. She was a faithful Catholic, going to Church daily and being a eucharistic minister. We should all live by her example. Pat will be missed by all. Our sincerest condolence’s are with her family.

Dear Paul and family, my deepest sympathy on the loss of your mom! Though it’s been a long time, I do remember her fondly! It’s so difficult to lose the last parent and become an orphan - a group none of us want to become a member of. The only consolation I can offer is my faith that one day we shall all be reunited in our heavenly home. I love you ❤
