Had unconditional and boundless love for her family
NORTH READING – Patricia (Healey) Griswold, 89, of North Reading and formerly of Rochester, N.Y., passed away at her home on Monday, January 15, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. She was the beloved wife of the late Kenneth G. Griswold.
Born in Lewiston, Maine on July 13, 1934, she was the daughter of the late William J. and Simone M. (Boucher) Healey. She was raised in Lewiston and was a graduate of Lewiston High School. Patricia was a resident of North Reading for the past 59 years.
Pat’s varied interests all stemmed from her joy of discovery; a new landscape, a new recipe, a new outfit, or a new mystery to unravel. Most importantly, Patricia was the family’s beating heart. Her love, unconditional and boundless, encompassed not just her children, but their spouses, her eight grandchildren, and anyone who crossed her threshold. She believed in the inherent good of every person, regardless of background or circumstance.
Family members include her loving sons, Keith and his wife Pam, Brian and his wife Michele, Kyle and his wife Caroline, and Matthew and his wife Jennifer; daughters, Nancy, Tracy, and Natalie and her husband William Drury; her brother, William Healey, and her sister, Carol Pisano; and eight grandchildren, Adam, Nathan, Michaela, Drew, Alec, Ken, Elliot and Ethan.
