Patricia Healy

January 29, 1930 — March 27, 2022

Albany- Patricia Healy was born in Rutland, Vermont on January 29, 1930 to Fred and Susan Galarneau. She passed away on Sunday, March 27, 2022.

Patricia's (Pat) family and friends were her joy. She touched many people with her special gifts. Patricia was an extraordinary pianist, playing at the Fort Orange Club in Albany, The Gideon Putnam in Saratoga, and later for church services and wine & cheese receptions at Avila Independent Retirement Community where she resided. She was a wonderful piano teacher, mentoring many students and friends in the fine points of making music. Pat was also an avid reader, lifelong learner, and loved to vacation on the New England coastline. Her strong faith was her foundation and she has left a beautiful legacy.
Pat was employed for many years by Bethlehem Central School District's library system where her love of learning and resource organization found a place in the work of her beloved students who sought her assistance.
The family gives thanks and expresses deep appreciation for the tireless, committed support the staff at Teresian House Center for the Elderly provided to Pat, who engaged in loving community wherever she resided.

Patricia is survived by her loving children Stephen (Gail) Healy of Manlius, NY,
Elizabeth Healy (Cliff Lyons) of Warwick, NY, John (Lorie) Healy of Amherst, MA, Matthew (Naomi) Healy of Brooklyn, NY, her grandchildren Jillian (Tim) Bennett, Chad Healy, Matthew (Kelsey) Denny, Joshua, Jedidiah and Kai Healy, her nieces Charlene Galarneau (Don Tucker), Michelle (Darryl) Gregg, Lisa (Mark) Belisle, her Goddaughter Susan Salvador (Chuck Koffenberger) and numerous other nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 42 years, John (Jack) Healy, her parents Fred and Susan Galarneau, brother Sam Galarneau and sister-in-law Debbie Thomas.
