On March 19, 2023 Patricia Falahee O’Farrell, loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother passed away.  

Pat was born and raised in the Bronx, and lived there for her entire life. It was there that she raised her two sons, Joseph and William, who were her greatest joy and proudest accomplishment.   Pat worked at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital for 47 years. Pat loved her work and took pride in her ability to help the patients.   Pat loved to travel to the Caribbean, especially St. Maarten, where she and her beloved husband John met life long friends who became constant travel companions. Pat was a fiercely loyal friend who cherished her life long relationships that she considered family. She enjoyed traveling with her friends to Las Vegas for a week every year and spending time in Long Beach. If she was not spending time with her grandchildren, she could be found playing cards with friends, working the crossword puzzle with Billy, at Empire City enjoying the slot machines or playing bingo with the ladies of Knolls Crescent.

She is also survived by her cherished grandchildren Joseph, Meghan, Kara, Bob, Christine, John Paul, Brian, Mary and great grandchildren Timmy and Brody.
