1951 - 2026
Born in Milford on March 17, 1951, Patty was the daughter of the late John and Mary (Lawless) Greene. She graduated from the former St. Mary's High School and carried the values of her hometown with her throughout her life. She was known for her kind heart, spirited personality, and genuine warmth.
Patty found great fulfillment working in private elder care, where her compassion and gentle nature made her a devoted caregiver. Helping others came naturally to her and reflected the caring person she was every day.
Family was at the center of Patty's life. She especially cherished her role as "Mimi" to her grandchildren, taking great pride in their academic achievements, athletic accomplishments, and every milestone they reached. Whether sharing stories, celebrating special occasions, or simply spending time together, Patty treasured every moment with those she loved.
She is survived by her daughters, Kristen Kay and her husband, Jason; Shannon Duarte and her husband, Antonio; and Alyson Silva and her husband, Reginaldo. She also leaves behind her stepdaughters, Susan Phillips and Kimberly Phillips; her sister, Maryellen Trautwein; her mother-in-law, Mary Phillips; her beloved grandchildren, Lauren Kay, Lynsey Kay, Antonio Duarte, Benjamin Duarte, and Julianna Silva; along with many nieces, nephews, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, and extended family members.
Patty appreciated life's simple pleasures and believed that family, friendship, laughter, and time spent together were life's greatest gifts. Her legacy of kindness, strength, and unconditional love will continue to live on through the many lives she touched.
