She was born in Millbury on Gordon's Corner on September 19, 1935, the daughter of Elizabeth Happakoski/Jacobson and Newell A. Gordon. Patricia's kind and caring manner was known by all, including families she met as a private and Millbury District Nursing home health care provider. Patricia shared her fun loving spirit and talents so passionately with others. Her artistic talent was found in her paintings, arts and crafts, sewing, and knitting. Her love for baking (esp. Swedish coffee bread), cooking, and gardening are precious memories for all. Patricia enjoyed Red Hat Society days, beach trips, swim groups, and close contact with family and friends on her computer. Patricia's greatest joy in life was her grandchildren, attending their sporting events, activities, and time in her home. Her Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Tuesday, July 5 at 11:00 AM., at Our Lady of Lourdes 1290 Grafton Street, Worcester. All attending the Funeral Mass are politely requested to go directly to the church. She will then be laid to rest in Riverside Cemetery in Grafton. There are no calling hours.
