ROSS, Patricia M. “Patsy” (Craven) of Dedham, formerly of Weymouth and Hyde Park passed away on November 1, 2024. Beloved daughter of the late John J. Craven, Sr. and Katherine (Kane). Devoted mother of Aileen Ross Daley and her husband Michael of Shrewsbury and Patricia “Patty” Ross with whom she lived. Dear sister of Sheila Middleton of Milton, Kathleen Passanisi of West Roxbury, Barbara Broderick of Quincy, and Timothy Craven of Dedham. She was preceded in death by six siblings: Judge John Craven, Jr., Maureen Slade, Pauline Qazilbash, Francis X. Craven, Brendan Craven, and Susan Borek. Loving grandmother of Paul, Kevin, and Ryan Daley. Great-grandmother of Hazel, Claire, Lyanna, and Mira Daley. Also survived by many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Patsy was known by many names: Mom, Gram. Aunt, cousin, and in a nod to her job at Boston PD, “Pepper Anderson”.
She was always dressed to the nines and was the life of every party. If there was a wedding dance circle, she was right in the middle of it. She loved Patsy Cline, a Castle Island hot dog, a Friendly’s Fish-a-ma- jig, and of course her Dunkin black coffee.
She made many friends while working for years at Boston City Hall and Boston Police Headquarters. She enjoyed serving on the Board of Directors of the City Of Boston Credit Union.
Special thanks to her home aides, especially Jessica Brown and the late Debbie Morganelli. Their loving care will be forever appreciated.
Rest in peace. As she would say, toodle-loo and 10-4.
