Patricia Alice Farnham – 81, passed away peacefully on Palm Sunday evening, 2020 at the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington. Born in Berlin, NH on November 13, 1938, she was the daughter of the late Albert and Margaret (Ripley) Davenport.

As a young woman Pat was employed as an LNA in Berlin, NH. Moving to Vermont in 1972, Pat and Don, following their marriage, made their home in Waterbury for many years. Following Don’s passing, Pat moved to Essex Junction to be near her daughter, Margaret.
Pat particularly enjoyed word puzzles, crocheting, knitting and long car rides on the back roads of Vermont. She was an avid listener to WOKO radio and took great joy in spending time with family. She is joyfully remembered for being selfless, loving, and giving.
