Obituary
At 83 years of age, Patricia passed away on Sunday May 1
st
at Wingate Nursing Home in Reading after a brief decline in health. Born and raised in Charlestown, she was one of three children born of the late D. Henry and Eileen (Gorman) Harrington. Pat attended school in Boston and graduated from High School in Charlestown. She was wed to Charles G. Piotrowski Sr. and settled in Chelsea raising her family of two sons and two daughters. Together they moved to Stoneham and have resided there for the past 40 years. She was recently widowed at Mr. Piotrowski's passing last September after sharing the past 64 years together. Shortly after his passing Pat took residence at the Life Care Center assisted living in Stoneham. In her short time there she made many new friends, kept up on all current affairs and was noted for her trivia knowledge, floral arranging and was an ardent Jeopardy fan. She also made it her cause to work to improve transportation availability for her fellow residents. Earlier in her life Pat worked as a switchboard operator and later became an Office Administrator for N.E. Telephone, continuing with AT&T and retiring from Verizon in 1988 after more than 20 years of employment. She was a member of the Telephone Pioneers of America and was a past President and late member of the former PAV Post 13 Chelsea, Ladies Aux. In her lifetime Pat enjoyed traveling on group tours with her husband and taking day trips to New Hampshire traveling along on the "Old Peoples Bus" as she called it. It wasn't the destination that mattered so much as enjoying the people she traveled with. In addition to her parents and husband, Pat was also preceded in death by a son Keven M. Piotrowski, Sr. and her son-in-law Alexander Stec. She is survived by her beloved remaining children; Charles G. Piotrowski, Jr. and his wife Joan of Delray Beach, FL., Cheryl Breault and her husband Donald of Stoneham, Denise Stec of Wakefield. She was the cherished grandmother of Charles Piotrowski, Leslie Reed, Sonya Vinson, Donald W. Breault III, Alex Stec, Kevin Piotrowski, Jr. James and Mary Piotrowski. Adored great grandmother of Callie and Elise Reed. Dear sister of Sis McFarland of Melrose and Peggy Ruggiero of Stoneham.
