She found joy in the outdoors-planting vegetables and flowers, feeding the birds, and taking in the beauty of God's creation. Patricia also expressed her creativity through photography and painting, and she delighted in traveling, especially on cruises. She will be deeply missed, especially by her sister Gail, with whom she shared a home for the past 3 ½ years. A Funeral Service will be held Saturday September 27th at 11am in the Meriden Hills Baptist Church 139 Charles St, Meriden, CT. Wallingford Funeral Home has been entrusted with arrangements.
