Patricia Bellonzi
CUMBERLAND – Patricia Bellonzi, 70, formerly of Cumberland, passed away on May 27 at Landmark Hospital, after a threeweek battle with COVID19. Patty had most recently resided at Oakland Grove Health Care Center in Woonsocket.
Born on March 28, 1950 in Attleboro Mass., she was a daughter of the late Leo and Doris (Kiff) Bellonzi. Patty is survived by a brother, James Bellonzi, of St. Petersburg Florida, a sister Pamela MacKenzie and her husband Bill of Wareham Mass., a niece Nicole Bellonzi and nephews Mark Lavelle and his wife Bobbie and Christopher Bellonzi. She also leaves a grand niece McKenzie Lavelle and grand nephew Connor Lavelle who she had so much fun with and loved dearly.
In her younger years she worked at The Foxboro Company for over 20 years until the company shut down and at A.T. Cross until retirement. Patty loved photography and took hundreds of photos of animals, ocean and nature. She also was a big collector. Lighthouses, snow globes, hundreds of baseball caps, pens, notebooks, nature books. The list goes on. She loved going to yard sales with her mother, thus the large collection of items. She also loved listening to music and dancing. She had great rhythm. She especially loved rap music for the loud beat. Her sister would take her out from the nursing home and play music in the car full blast for her. No quiet dull stuff . Patty also loved to laugh and had a great spirit. She especially had many fun times with her cousin Dawn who was more like a sister to her.
