Obituary: Patricia M. Sheahan, 63

WALLINGFORD, CT — (From Wallingford Funeral Home): Patricia M. Sheahan, 63, passed away peacefully with her children by her side Monday, February 20, 2023 at Midstate Medical Center. She was born August 11, 1959 in New Haven, a daughter of the late William J. and Marian (Cribbins) Sheahan.

Pat, just like in life was stubborn and fought until the very end. Known as a social butterfly, she was the most kind and generous woman who always found the good in everyone. Her passion for cooking and feeding others was just one of her many ways of bringing family and friends together. She was extremely hard working to provide for her family.

Before retirement, she was employed by Data Products, Stop & Shop, and most recently, The Record Journal.

Pat is survived by her five children who were the center of her life, Gabe Smiles (Mellisa), Siobhan Smiles (Chris), Shaina Smiles (Dan), Brendan Smiles (Bre) and Jackie Smiles; she adored her grandchildren who affectionately called her "Boo", Kacie, Adalynne, Henry and Faith; her partner, Dave Bouza; her brothers and sisters, Bill Sheahan (Joanne), Sue Kerr (Tom), Cathy Fusco (Sal) and Elaine Sheahan; as well as her lifelong friends and many nieces, nephews and extended family. She was predeceased by her brother, Richard Sheahan, her nephew, Tommy Kerr, her niece Colleen Kerr, and her son-in-law, Jay Wills.

The family would like to extend their thanks to Dr. Giosa and the wonderful teams at Midstate Medical Center for their care and compassion over the past couple of years.

Her family will receive relatives and friends in the Yalesville Funeral Home, 386 Main St. in the Yalesville section of Wallingford on Saturday, February 25 from 10 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. when the funeral cortege will proceed to the Church of the Resurrection where a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 12:30 p.m.
