Patricia R. Jeria (Hennelly), longtime resident of Marshfield, Massachusetts and Delray Beach, Florida, passed away unexpectedly on February 16, 2022 due to complications from COPD.

Born to Thomas and Ruth Hennelly, Pat grew up on Royal Street in Quincy, MA with siblings Tom, Rich, Bob, Ron, and Ruth. After graduating from North Quincy High School, she began a longtime career in healthcare. She took great pride in all aspects of work and was treasured for her knack in bringing fun to each day.

Pat and her beloved husband, Max, settled in Marshfield to raise their family. She could expertly make a house feel like home… a warm, inviting home for entertaining (teasingly, as long as everyone wrapped up by 6pm). No matter where life brought her, she naturally found great friends and could find humor in anything. She was a silver-linings gal who loved unconditionally.

Pat lived vibrantly as a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, a grandmother, and a friend. She loved her grandchildren fiercely; Nana Pat was their #1 Fan. She will be remembered for her quick wit, strength, light-hearted sass, and inside-and-out beauty.

To know Pat is to forever love her. She will be deeply missed by her daughter Tanya and son-in-law Paul Gilmartin; daughter Melissa and son-in-law Mike Forrester; grandchildren Paul, Max, and Lauren; brother Ron Hennelly and wife Alyce; many nephews and nieces; and extended family and friends who love her dearly.

She was predeceased by her husband of fifty years, Maximo Jeria; brothers Tom, Rich and Bob Hennelly; sister Ruth Giorgi; nephew Ryan Giorgi, and parents Thomas and Ruth Hennelly.

A celebration of life will be held in the near future with family and friends.
