Patricia Fountain

Patricia Coyle, was born in Framingham, MA. She was the daughter of Jim Coyle and Irene Lawrence Coyle. She married Stephen Fountain and they had two children, Nathaniel and Joshua. She had three younger brothers, Jim, John and Dennis.
Pat was an excellent student in school and graduated second in her class in 1966. She was a member of the high school band where she played the slide trombone. She also played in several bands in the Milford/Hopkinton area and was mentored by Joe Markarian at Hopkinton High School and Gerry Secco in Milford.
After high school Pat attended Framingham State College where she graduated with honors. After graduating she was hired by the Holliston School System where she taught math and science during her 35-year career. During her career Pat went above and beyond taking students on trips to the Statue of Liberty in NYC and organizing different clubs like SCAT, Students Concerned About Tomorrow. She piloted programs for the National Geographic Kids Network. Pat also setup the weather station where students broadcast weather reports on the school television network. Pat really enjoyed taking students to the Challenger Center at Framingham State College. Her friend Mary Liscombe, a fellow classmate of Christa McAuliffe like Pat, worked at the Challenger Center.
Before Pat married me she planned to teach on Indian reservations but love intervened. I wonder what she'll be teaching in Heaven.
Love,
Steve, Nathaniel and Joshua
