She was born in Armagh, Ireland, and bravely made the journey to New York at just 18 years old. In 1966, Patricia settled in Springfield, where she became a beloved part of the community. Patricia had a unique ability to brighten every life she touched, spreading laughter, warmth, and joy wherever she went. It was impossible to dine out with her without stopping to greet the many friends and acquaintances she knew through her decades of work in banking and her generous volunteer efforts. With over 50 years in the banking industry, Patricia was deeply devoted to both her colleagues and her customers, always going above and beyond to help others. She had a deep love for people, a sharp wit, and a contagious laugh. In 2011, she married Robert Hubbell, and together they embraced life’s joys of traveling, sharing good times, and creating lasting memories with friends and family. Patricia was immensely proud of her Irish roots and cherished all things Irish. She was truly one of a kind—deeply loved and admired by so many. Her spirit, laughter, and love will be dearly missed.
Patricia was preceded in death by her parents, Johnny and Bridget Kelly.
She is survived by her husband, Robert Hubbell; daughters, Seanna Malek (Joe), Maire McGuigan (Dean Brogdon) and Geralyn Casper (Michael); grandchildren, Alex (Cassidy), Aiden, Ciara, and Addie; her Hubbell family includes Pat Hubbell, Matt Hubbell (Melody), Joe Hubbell (Christy), Amanda Ferguson (Joe); grandchildren, Michael, Niko, Rena, Damon, Dylan, Brandin, Bridgett, and Connor; two great-grandchildren, Brantley and Bryce; and siblings, Cecilia Clancy, Ronnie Toal, and Sean Kelly.
