Patricia Paxton Roletti, 90, passed away peacefully on June 9th in Concord, MA surrounded by her family.
Pat was born in Los Angeles, CA to Arthur & Irene Paxton on October 2, 1931. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family and seeing her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren flourish. She also filled her hours knitting and needlepointing with greater skill and speed than her family could believe. Growing up in Pasadena, she graduated from Mayfield High School and the University of Southern California and worked for over twenty years in women's luxury retail. She was deeply devoted to her friends and family and was an active member of her Catholic community in Newport Beach, CA; Portland, OR; and Concord, MA.
Pat is survived by her children Susan Roletti Franklin (Wayne), Michael Roletti (Debbie), and Thomas Roletti; grandchildren Jason Franklin, Barrett Franklin (Lea), Shannon Franklin Hegarty (Terence), and Michael Allan Roletti; and great-grandchildren Charlotte Hegarty, James Franklin, Isla Franklin, and Emilia Hegarty. She is preceded in death by her husband of 68 years, Edward Roletti, parents Arthur & Irene, her sister Dorothy, and her sisters-of-the-heart Dorothy & Louise.
