Daughter of Joseph J. McGouldrick and Anne Elizabeth Morrow, Patricia was born in Fayetteville, NC on April 29, 1929 and spent her childhood in Pinehurst, NC, and Savannah, GA. She wrote a treasured booklet of stories, “Tell Me Again, Gramma,” based on summer adventures with her brother at her grandmother’s home on Lake Chautauqua, NY.

Patricia was a graduate of Larson College and pursued a career as a medical secretary before starting her family. She attended Christ Episcopal Church in Bethany, CT where she also taught Sunday School. She volunteered for Meals on Wheels. She loved gardening, boating and many racquet sports and taught grandchildren how to spin-serve a ping pong ball and ride a bike. She was cherished by her family and friends and will be dearly missed.

A private celebration of life is planned.
