FRAMINGHAM – Sister M. Patricia of the Queen of Carmel, O.Carm., 84, passed into eternal life on Sunday, May 9, 2021 in her 65th year of religious life.
Born Ann Marie Markey in New York City on June 13, 1936, she was the daughter of Irish immigrants, the late Patrick & Ellen (McKenna) Markey.
Sister Patricia entered Carmel on February 2, 1956, professed her first vows on September 30, 1957, and her final vows on December 8, 1962. She had extensive training in the field of nursing, including a Master’s degree, and was the only Sister in the Congregation to ever reach the level of Nurse Practitioner.
