Patricia Josephine (Noone)O’Donnell, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on April 6, 2025, at the age of 88.
Born in 1937 to John and Bridget Noone, Patricia lived a life marked by compassion, resilience, and deep devotion to her faith and those she loved. She married in 1959 to William Bernard O’Donnell at Saint Ann’s in Bronx, NY. She was a beloved mother of John O’Donnell (Diane), Patricia Ledley (Brian) and Bridget Landy (James). She was known for her sharp wit, unwavering strength, and the warmth she extended to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
Throughout her life, Patricia was a pillar of her community and her family. She had a strong love and devotion to her job at Westchester Exceptional Children School and had an uncanny ability to make everyone feel seen and heard, always offering a listening ear or a wise word to friends and family. Bill and Pat spent many years at their vacation home in South Kingston, Rhode Island, creating memories with grandchildren. Her home was filled with laughter, stories, and the smell of something always cooking on the stove.
Bill predeceased in 2001, and they were the loving Pop and Nana to grandchildren, Brian, Brendan, Patrick, Anne, William, Gerard, Andrew, Deirdre, Sean, Mary Kathleen, Amanda, Caitlin, Conor and Liam and great-grandchildren, Joseph, Lillian, Róisín, Cillian, Reagan and Emmy. Patricia’s legacy is one of kindness, resilience, and the enduring power of love.
May she rest in eternal peace.
