Patricia Lyttle (Fohs)Shanley
March 27,1928 – September 13, 2022 (age 94)
It is with profound sadness we announce Patricia Shanley has entered Eternal Rest. Born in Bronx, New York, beloved daughter of the late Thomas and Sally Fohs. Patricia was blessed with a marriage of 67 years to John Shanley, Sr., before his passing in 2016. Together they raised five children in Laurel Beach of Milford and the family they created has grown and grown in unfathomable love. Left to cherish incredible memories are their children John (Debra) Shanley, Jr., Shaileen (Timothy) Tracy, Suzanne Swan, Thomas (Janet) Shanley, and Patrice Shanley. Blessed with 14 grandchildren: Stacey, Sean, and Tyler Shanley; Kaitlin (Tory) Jacob; Tim (Hilary) Tracy; Sheena Verderame; Colleen (Kyle) Kendall; Zack (Lori) Swan; Maggie Swan; and Kelly and Bridget Shanley. Additionally, Sandra (Brian) Dupre, Cathleen (Gregory) Vuich, Tara (Robert) Tyson. Her greatest joys were 19 great grandchildren: Brayden, Rylan, Kaylie Jacob; Declan and Finley Tracy; Landon and Emily Verderame; Chloe, Kaden and McKenzie Kendall; and Ryder Swan. Also, Brian Jr., Sean, and Meghan Dupre; Steven Asby, Lillian and Jack Vuich; and Macy and Marcus Tyson.
Her “family” included her Laurel Beach community all near and dear as well as her friends in Fort Meyers, Florida where their love of sand, sea, and sunsets extended during the winters.
Pat was pre-deceased by her parents, sister and brother-in-law Nancy and James Trapp. As well as brother-in-law Alfred (Anne) Shanley and sisters-in-law Elizabeth (John) Harvey, Anne (Leonard) Glancy, and Margaret Shanley, and son-in-law Francis “Zack” Swan.
