In loving memory of PATRICIA CORREIRA
DIAMOND DOGS RESCUE, INC. IS HONORED THAT THE FAMILY OF PATRICIA HAS ASKED IN LIEU OF FLOWERS, REMEMBRANCES MAY BE MADE TO:
DIAMOND DOGS RESCUE INC, 428 High Street, Mount Holly, NJ 08060
IN LOVING MEMORY OF PATRICIA CORREIRA
Patricia “Pat” Correira was born and raised in Springfield and devoted much of her time to education. She served on the Springfield School Committee for 12 years, serving as Vice-Chairman before retiring.
Thereafter she was a legislative aide to Senator Linda Melconian in the Massachusetts State Senate and the 2nd Vice President of the Massachusetts Association of School Committees (MASC). She was well-known in the education industry as she traveled throughout the state to advocate for students.
On Thursday, Senator Jake Oliveira honored the memory of Pat by formally requesting the Senate adjourn in her honor. Senator Oliveira highlighted her role as a mentor and friend from the start of his public service career on the Ludlow School Committee, “Pat was not only a mentor to me; she was a dear friend.”
A moment of silence was held at the State House in Boston to recognize her profound impact on the community and her unwavering dedication to public service.
The family is requesting donations in lieu of flowers to the Roberta Doering Scholarship fund run by MASC, Diamond Dogs Rescue of New Jersey, or TJ O’Connor Animal Control Adoption in Springfield.
Our organization extends heartfelt condolences to the family. We are grateful for the role Patricia played in bringing our organization together with her family and we share in the sorrow of their loss.
Motherhood: all love begins and ends there
