Born in Cambridge, MA, Pat moved to Hanover in 1956 to a house built for her by her beloved husband Arthur. She loved her home and her town and her church and never wanted to be anywhere else.  

Pat was predeceased by her husband Arthur and her sister in law Lyda Shortall. Additionally predeceased by her four siblings; William, Robert, and Barbara Sullivan and Marilyn Doyon and several dear friends including Betty Petrell and Joan Tuzik.

She was the most loved Gere to six grandchildren; Tory Amorello (Sam Damon), Elizabeth Buonforte (Mark), Margaret Amorello (Daniel Wall), Garrett Amorello (Lauren), Andrew West, Henry West, and 8 great grandchildren. She was eagerly awaiting the birth of two new great grandchildren this fall. Pat is also survived by her beloved nieces Deborah George and Donna Murphy and a vast and incredible village of loved ones who gave her life purpose and meaning and who kept her alive and sharp till the very end. She loved and was loved deeply. She truly lived until she died.
