Patsy was a very active member of the Saint Margaret’s community where she raised her children.  She was a devoted Catholic, and very proud of her Irish heritage.
Patsy also loved not only her kids, but all the kids in the neighborhood. You would always find her at Saint Margaret’s basketball gym or at one of the baseball fields if her children had games. She was always there, always helping and always smiling. She made lifelong friends right in the community. Everyone knew her around the neighborhood.
Patsy also had a love for “her “ Yankees.  It was quite fitting that she passed on the day of the Yankee Home Opener.

After working 26 years at Columbia University she finally retired in 2016.

She is survived by her husband of 53 years, Richard “Sonny” Carmody, her children Richard (Theresa) and Danielle as well as her grandchildren Richard V, Michael, Samantha and Keira.  She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
