Patricia "Patti" (Dolan) Robinson, passed away peacefully on May 17, 2025 at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Massachusetts with her sister by her side.
Born in Springfield on August 30, 1961, Patti was a beloved daughter, sister, niece, aunt, partner and friend whose warmth and kindness touched everyone she met.
Patti was the cherished daughter of the late Richard F. and Barbara A. (Pierce) Dolan, the devoted sister to Lisa (Dolan) Antunes, niece to the late Irving S. Pierce of Nevada, and the beloved partner of Mark Charles of Springfield. She was aunt to the late David A. Antunes, Jr. of Alabama, Eric R. Antunes of South Carolina and great-aunt to many nieces and nephews all of whom will miss her dearly.
Patti attended High School of Commerce and Holyoke Community College, and was a lifelong student with a passion for knowledge. Her love of writing began early, as she contributed to her junior high school newspaper, and continued throughout her life. Patti worked for many years as a developer at Dynacolor, where she was respected for her dedication and expertise.
Patti's interests were as varied as they were rich. She found joy in cooking, reading, writing, attending many concerts at the Springfield Civic Center, spending time with family and friends, and was an avid runner in her youth. Her commitment to her community was evident in her lifelong membership at Trinity United Methodist Church in the Forest Park section of Springfield and her support of the local Boys and Girls Clubs. As a youngster, she was a Brownie and an active member of her local Junior Achievement community.
Patti's ability to make friends easily and maintain lifelong relationships was a testament to her generous spirit and compassionate heart. She was a devoted daughter, sister and friend always putting family and friends first, and her presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
A memorial service to celebrate Patti's life will be announced at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial contributions be made to your local Boys and Girls Club.
