Patricia Ann Brodeur, 84, of Milford, beloved wife of 65 years to Donald Brodeur, passed away on August 7, 2025. Born on October 29, 1940 in Holyoke, MA to the late Peter and Jean (Ravish) Rushford.

Patricia will be remembered for her vibrant spirit, generous heart, and love of life’s simple pleasures. She found joy in visiting the casino, where laughter and luck often went hand in hand. Her happiest days were spent on the water, fishing from the boat and soaking in the peace of nature. A devoted grandmother, she never missed a chance to cheer on her grandchildren in all their activities, proudly supporting them. Patricia also gave back to her community in a deeply meaningful way, dedicating her time and talents to crocheting prayer shawls for patients at Smilow Cancer Hospital—each one a labor of love and comfort. Her warmth, energy, and compassion will be missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her.

In addition to her loving husband, Pat is survived by her children, Lynn (Guy) McKenna, Kenneth (Julie) Brodeur, Sharon Benintende, and Michelle Pieger; her grandchildren, Erin, Patrick, Stacey, Kaela, Luke, Donald, Kyrsten, and Jenna; her great grandchildren, James, Lilly, Delaney, Jackson, and Ashton; her brother-in-law, Gerald Brodeur; and her cousin, Ann Crum. Pat was predeceased by her son-in-law, Jeffery Pieger; two siblings; and sister-in-law Elaine Manes.
