Lunenburg

Barbara "Bobbi" Anne (Clayton) Patterson, 77, died peacefully on July 25, 2019 under the tender care of her sister and the staff at the Rose Monahan Hospice Home in Worcester, MA after a year of treatment for brain cancer.

Bobbi was born on December 23, 1941, in Philadelphia, PA, a daughter of the late John H. and Margaret M. (Decker) Clayton. She is survived by her sister, Jeanne Clayton and her partner, Lourdes Alvarez who live in NJ.

Bobbi was a graduate of Trenton State College, NJ. She taught in NJ schools before moving to Lunenburg, MA in 1968 when her husband, Frank, accepted a position as a professor of music and director of the Fitchburg State University band until his death in 2000.

Bobbi and Frank loved to travel and had been all over the world. Bobbi loved the theater, concerts, ballet, museums and traveling to historic sites, along with making and sharing her home-made crafts. She liked nothing better than being out with good friends.
