Patricia, lovingly known as “Patsy” by family and friends was raised in Medford; she was one of eight children.

They welcomed their first son Bill a year later, followed by a daughter, Courtney.  Sean completed their family a few years later. Biff and Patsy lived in Norfolk, MA in a small community called “The oval.” There, Patsy had a wonderful group of stay at home mothers all helping each other raise families with lots of love and laughter.

In 1979, Biff and Patsy bought their house on Gilmore St. and have remained in the same house since. Patsy was very active with the Stoneham School systems as all three of her children attended Stoneham public schools.  Patsy became a traffic director in the late 1980’s.  It was here that she met numerous friends who she remained close with after her retirement in 2009.

During their retirement Biff and Patsy traveled and spend endless hours with their 5 grandchildren.  Summers were spent in the cape, at their home in Buzzards Bay. They enjoyed  meeting up with friends and family, eating out at local restaurants.

Biff and Patsy built a beautiful life together and celebrated their 50^th Wedding anniversary in 2018. After Biff’s passing, Patsy remained in Stoneham.  She was planning on moving to Dedham soon.
