Sims, Patricia M. (Campbell) age 74, of West Roxbury died peacefully on July 21, at home. Patricia was the daughter of the late Robert and Alice Louise (McMorrow) Campbell. Patricia was the beloved mother of Michael Sims of Marshfield. She was the cherished sister of Ellen Lepage of Weymouth, Stephen Campbell of Norfolk, Mark and Kristi Campbell of Arizona and the late John Campbell of West Roxbury. She is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
Patricia graduated from Rosary Academy, attended Hickox Secretarial School, and worked for the Teamsters Local #379 for 27 years. Above all else, Patricia will be remembered for being a devoted mother to her son Michael. He was her pride and joy and she treasured every single memory they made together. “Tippy '' as she was affectionately known by her family was famous for her generous spirit. She was known for her delicious chocolate chip cookies, party mix, and for always having treat bags for the children with candy, small toys, and a few dollar bills inside. Her kindness was a godsend to many generations. She escorted her parents and aunts on many vacations and cared for them all in their senior years. Patricia was a devoted sister who loved and was dearly loved in return by her siblings and their families. Patricia was an honorary grandmother to all of her great nieces and nephews and their children as well. Over the years, the Cunningham, Campbell, McMorrow, and Fallon kids were lucky enough to join Aunt Tippy at the Swan Boats, the theater, the beach, or just enjoy a day of dancing, games, and family time.
Patricia was also blessed with many wonderful friends throughout her life. Maryellen, Helen, and Claire are just a few whose friendship was a gift she never took for granted.
