She also had four grandchildren: Sara Doherty, Jaclyn Gomez Lapp, Ryan Doherty, and Jason Gomez, and one great-grandaugher, Madelyn, who was the light of her life. Patricia was pre-deceased by her two sisters, Joan Mackin Humphrey and Doris Mackin. Visiting hours will be held at Whalen & Ball Funeral Home on Wednesday 2-4 and 7-9pm.
