Patsy Mollica

My wife Sally and I just heard the sad news of Patsy´s passing and wanting to send our heartfelt condolences to not only her family but to all that loved her and as we all know with Patsy to know her was to love her. She possessed a loving caring uplifting personality that always brightened our day. It will be hard to go anywhere in our town and not having a memory of Patsy performing her music and spreading her love weather it be a Hay Day gathering, town common any of the local churches and schools. I am a firm believer that we all become the people we are by paying attention to all the good people in the world and I am certain that Patsy inspired me to be the man that I am today. Thank you Patsy for being a small but important part in my life and until we meet again keep the angels singing that I may enjoy the love you shared once again. Mark Charest

I am late to share a comment about Patsy. I only recently learned that we have lost a beloved community and musical member. I live in Princeton in the house just below the Community Center studio where Patsy taught music for many years. We loved opening the doors and windows to hear her and her students. My husband and I even attended a recital in her studio. She commented that she enjoyed hearing my husband playing our piano when our doors/windows were open. We have been blessed with a wonderful spirit and I will remember Patsy always.

Patrick n I just heard the news of Patsy´s passing and are truly devastated to hear. Our hearts and prayers are w John n the family. God bless.

The Princeton community will all miss Patsy and her music. The gazebo Christmas concerts wer so special for all participants. Thank you Patsy for all that you have contributed to making our world filled with music.

Patsy was a warm, friendly and musical person. Generous too. She always made us feel welcome when we came to Princeton. We will miss her. All our sympathy to the family.

Patsy brings back many happy memories for me. I played the flute with her at St. Richard's church in Sterling for many years. She was such a talented musician and her voice was so beautiful, she had a heart of gold and brought happiness to everyone that she shared her music with. Nothing quite as warm as a big hug and smile from Patsy.

Patsy Mollica - you are a true gem, a beautiful and enlightened soul. I will always appreciate and be grateful for your friendship. Your generosity in sharing your gifts and talents with us will always be with us. I will treasure singing with you at my mom´s funeral, you made her funeral more meaningful and special with your music and your presence. Thank you. I will miss your light, Patsy. Rest well and continue to sing with the angels. My sincere condolences to John and your family.

I enjoyed when Miss. Patsy would visit Princeton Community Preschool. She would play the keyboard and have the children sing and dance. I would always enjoy participating along with her and the children. Her genuine love, kindness, tenderness in the way she would talk with the children and in her interactions with adults reminded me of Mr. Rogers. She knew how to bring happiness and fun to others. She will always have a special place in my heart. Miss. Patsy will be missed by so many people. I love you my dear friend. May the wonderful memories people have of Miss. Patsy bring some comfort to her family.

My daughter has attended Princeton Community Preschool for the past 2 years and a highlight for her has been Miss Patsy. She adored her tremendously. Miss Patsy had the special gift of making every child feel like they were the most special child in the room. My daughter has been asking about Miss Patsy a lot over the past couple of weeks and wondering when she was going to return to school. I'm so sad she won't be able to share her magic with the children again, but I know that some of her magic lives on in them every student that she has touched over her distinguished career. Rest in Peace Miss Patsy! You will be missed!

To the Mollica Family,

We are so sad to hear of our Dear Patsy's passing...but we KNOW that she was welcomed by the Lord, God she so very well served for so many years. Everyone she met along her journey was "Mothered" and "Smothered" by her LOVE. A joy to be blessed by her gifts of Music and Prayer, she has touched so many who were fortunate called to be one of her many friends. John, Matt, Ben and Johanna and your families, you have had a true Saint-on-Earth to love and cherish. We will all miss her (and we are certain that she is making Angelic Music with our Dear Fr. Mike)! Surely, God has His Hands full with those 2 back together again! We truly loved them both and we dearly miss them...but we will see them again...in a place where there is NO more pain or suffering...in the Place we all aspire to be...in that Heavenly Home that God has promised for all who have served Him so well and so generously. May God bestow on the Mollica Family His Choicest Blessings...not only in this time of such loss...but always.

With Love and Prayers,
Pearl and Dick

I remember Patsy's lovely singing at Overlook Farm events. She will be missed.

Patsy taught so many of us at St Ann´s so much. I will always remember her fondly, the singing, the laughing, the love and passion of her voice and talent. Rest easy Patsy!
