Patricia Ann (McCrodden) Burns, 72, of Marion, passed away on Monday, September 16, 2013 at Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston. She was the wife of John W. Burns with whom she shared 54 years of marriage.
Born in Manhattan, New York, the daughter of the late John and Kathleen (Green) McCrodden, she had resided in Marion for the past 40 years.
Mrs. Burns had been employed as a Registered Nurse for many years until her retirement.
Surviving in addition to her husband is her son, Greg Burns and his husband Robert Jett of Fairhaven; and her brothers, Mark McCrodden and his wife Patricia of Ridgewood, NJ and Brian McCrodden and his wife MC of Queens, NY.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, September 21, 2013 from 10-11:30am in the Waring-Sullivan Home of Memorial Tribute at Fairlawn, 180 Washington St., Fairhaven followed by a graveside service at Evergreen Cemetery in Marion.
I am very sorry for your tremendous loss and the loss of my childhood friend, Pat McCrodden. I have fond memories of the families of McCrodden, McNeil, Delargy, McCormick, McAuley, Fay, Fitzpatrick and Walsh (relatives and friends) enjoying summers at my Aunt Helen McAuley’s summer home in Esopus, NY. I still remember the fun times including Labor Day clambakes and our farewell to each family as they left to go home for their children’s schooling. We always sang:”We hate to see you go and hope the heck you never come back; we hate to see you go”. I never saw Pat after she married but based on the photos on the web, she had a very happy life. And I am sorry to see Pat pass to her eternal reward at such an early age and without me seeing her during her 54 years of marriage.
Fondly,
Martha Fitzpatrick Dixon
