Patricia Mae Pelletier

Winslow – Patricia M. Pelletier, 80, 0f Winslow, departed this life unexpectedly on Wednesday June 22, 2016 at her home following an illness. Born in Winslow, Maine she was the daughter of Anthony and Florence (Vigue) Paradis. She attended Winslow schools and married her husband Don in 1955. Her marriage was the beginning of her life as a loving wife and mother.

Pat loved caring for her children and all of their many friends who visited. There was always room for one more at the table with plenty of home cooked food and baked goods; she continued this spirit and generosity until the day she passed. She loved having craft days with her daughters, grandchildren and her many friends. She was always full of life, listening to her music; her favorites being Dean Martin and Kenny Rogers, all the while dancing and singing for everyone, especially her grandchildren, who would always brighten her day when they visited.

Patricia is survived by her special friend John Lucia; her four children: Donna Desmond and her husband Larry and their two children: Dean and his wife Tina and their daughter Lydia; and Heidi; Brenda Palumbo and her husband Greg and their two children: Jessica and her husband Mike and their son Trevon; and Nicole; Jeff Pelletier and his wife Robin and their two children: Zack and his wife Melissa and their children: Mikayla, Eban and William; and Jeffrey; Ken Pelletier and his wife Michelle and their three children: Nick, Kyle and Krysta; as well as several nieces and nephews who all held a special place in her heart.

She was predeceased by her husband of 29 years who died in 1984; her son Donald; two brothers: Larry Paradis of Raymond, ME and Anthony Paradis of Goffstown, NH; her sister Theresa Drouin of Winslow, ME; and a very special aunt and uncle, Adelard and Emeline Paradis of Winslow, ME.
