All the staff at Maine Medical Center, Mercy Hospital, Springbrook Center, Seaside Healthcare, Windham MEDCU, and the Hutchins family all treated her with compassion and care.

She attended Portland High School and worked at Shaws during her youth. Her beloved sister Jean and brother Donny were inseparable on Munjoy Hill. They were all close and a fun loving bunch.

She did all this while raising a family, being a mother and homemaker. As they grew older they found Marco Island, FL and spent time with family and friends in the Florida sun. Patricia was the ""go to"" person for advice and words of wisdom. She had tremendous love and affection for her sister in-laws and brother in-laws and all her cousins, nieces, and nephews. She loved flowers, plants, and gardening and helped her friend and neighbor Sue Baillargeon in the ""Weede Shop"" if needed.
