Patricia Mary Molloy

Suddenly, after a short illness, Patricia Mary Molloy (née Bulger) passed to the Lord on May 3, 2008.
She was the beloved wife of Dennis. She was the mother of Shauna (Ken Small), Stephen (Corinne Pommer), and Michael, and sister to Sheila (Robert Rodgers). She was the grandmother of Jennifer, Victoria, Shane, Hannah, Spencer, Eddie, and Reilly, and great-grandmother to Reyna, Dominique, and Hailey. She will be missed by numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. She will be sadly missed by her adopted Molloy family - her sisters Judy (Bob Pound), Sheilagh (Terry Wardrop), Coreen, Myrna (Craig Cloutier), and brothers Paul (Joan), and Mark (Els). She was predeceased by her parents James Bernard Cyril and Josephine Miriam Bulger (née Tritschler), and her parents-in-law Alexander Celestine and Mary Eileen Molloy (née McDonald).
Born in Rhyl, North Wales on November 28, 1944 to a military family during the latter years of World War II, Patricia moved with her family around Europe, until the family made the decision to immigrate to Canada in 1955. Her family settled in Western Manitoba, and she attended school in Virden. She made the decision to move to Winnipeg and met her life partner through the intercession of her Aunt Violet. Pat and Dennis were married on July 10, 1965. When Dennis' employment brought the family to Eastern Ontario, Pat opened a hair salon, first out of the family home, and then when business began to boom, at a location in Chesterville. Her decision in 1985 to return to complete her high school education was a source of great pride for her entire family.
As her children grew up and left home, she became a supporter of the Guide Dogs for the Blind. She and Dennis were involved in the training of several guide dogs. Her dedication to this cause benefited many people.
As her health began to decline, she was treated by her long-time doctor and friend Charles Adamson. In her last days, the staff of both the Winchester District Memorial Hospital and the Ottawa General Hospital provided Pat with great care and concern. In particular, the family would like to thank Dr. Legault of WDMH.
In respect of her wishes, there will be no visitation. A funeral Mass will be celebrated on Thurs., May 8, at 11 am at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Chesterville.
In lieu of flowers, generous donations to the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind are encouraged (www.guidedogs.ca).
The funeral arrangements are entrusted to the Chesterville Funeral Home.
