Patricia A. Paleo, lovingly known as Tricia, passed away after a short illness at Milford Regional Hospital on October 18th at the age of 74.
She was born and raised in Melrose, May 6th, 1951, and graduated from Melrose High School. Tricia earned her associate's degree in accounting from North Shore Community College and later completed her bachelor's degree in accounting at Southern New Hampshire University.
She lived for several years in Lawrence and more recently resided in Northbridge where she received compassionate care at a memory care facility. Tricia worked for many years as an accountant for Whittier Rehab and later held various contractor positions as a staff accountant. She was an avid reader, enjoyed attending off-Broadway shows with friends, and treasured every moment spent with her family.

She is survived by John's wife, Susan Palleo and her nieces and nephew: Kristen Palleo and her husband David Crepeault and their son Jonah; Michael Palleo and his wife Allyson and their sons Theodore and Finnegan; and Erika Palleo; as well as her brothers Christopher D. Paleo, Robert J. Paleo, and his wife Sharon Clewes and daughter Amanda Clewes.
