Patricia Stinney, age 67, of Boxborough and former longtime resident of Harvard Green on Lancaster County Road, died Saturday, Oct. 24, 2020, after a long-fought battle with two cancers.
Born on June 20, 1953, in Troy, New York, Patricia was a daughter of the late James Stinney and Mary E. (Wicks) Thomas. Raised and educated in Mechanicville, New York, Patricia attended Mechanicville High School, graduating in 1971. She studied software engineering at The College of Saint Rose in Albany, New York, and later earned her master’s degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. Patricia quickly progressed in her professional life as a quality assurance software engineer for Digital Equipment Corporation in Maynard. She later worked at Quill and Press in Acton for six years.
Patricia always lived life to the fullest. After establishing her residence in the Harvard community, she enjoyed many hobbies outside of work. Patricia loved sports and was a devoted fan of all of Boston’s sports teams. She was an avid golfer, and as a longtime member of The TOUR of Greater Boston she had the opportunity to play on some of the best courses in New England. Patricia was a loving sister, aunt, and dear friend to many. Her memory and spirit will be treasured by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
Patricia is survived by her sisters: Charlene (Ronald) Brandow, Nadine (Donell) Washington, and Sharon Hawkins. She is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews. Patricia’s family would also like to thank Kathryn Tavolacci for her friendship and support during her time of need.
Family and friends will gather to honor and remember Patricia for a period of visitation on Friday, Oct. 30, from noon to 1 p.m. in the Badger Funeral Home, 347 King Street, Littleton. A funeral service will be held immediately following the visitation at 1 p.m. in the funeral home. Patricia will be laid to rest in Bellevue Cemetery, Still River Road, Harvard.
