Patricia Anne Carroll

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Pat has been a resident of Lower Bucks County for 63 years, 60 of them in the Lakeside section of Levittown, PA. She was a member of Saint Michael the Archangel Parish, Levittown, where she served as lector and member of the choir, parish council, PTA, and Sodality. She and her husband Frank were long-time volunteers at the church fair and were founding members of The Parkway Players, a theater group at St. Michael's.

Pat was the President and Valedictorian of her Brooklyn high school class. Her work career included nurse's aide, secretary, stenographer and many years as a veterinarian's assistant at the Delaware Valley Animal Hospital. Her home was always alive with people and pets of all shapes and sizes. She especially loved children and cared for more than 100 children in the daycare she operated in her home for 23 years. A common site at the local pools was Pat with a dozen or more children in tow.

Pat entered the political sphere late in life, serving as a Member and later President on the Tullytown Borough Council. She volunteered at Lower Bucks Hospital, receiving accommodation for more than 6,000 hours of volunteer service, and was elected President of the Auxiliary Board.

A friend of Lois W. for more than 50 years, Pat made many close friends in the program, and shared much program wisdom throughout her lifetime. When not working or volunteering, her favorite vacations were with family at the Jersey Shore.

She was the much beloved sister of James Dooley, sister-in-law of Patricia Monahan, and aunt of Stephanie Cerdeiros (Nigel) and Jennifer Clark (William).

Known as Bammy to her grandchildren, she was the cherished grandmother of Casey, David, Miranda, Matthew, Nicholas, Charlotte, Valerie, Rebecca, Brendan, Kelly, Christopher, Erin, Nina, Joseph, and the late Shane, and proud great-grandmother of five.
