Patricia Walter

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Patricia Jane (Lord) Walter, a woman as thoughtful as she was compassionate, who left us on January 19, 2025. Born on December 23, 1945, in Winchendon, MA, Patricia carried the essence of her birthplace with her throughout her life. Known for her creative spirit, she was an independent soul whose door was always open to those in need. Patricia was a woman of many talents. Her professional life was spent working as an accomplished accountant for Dana S. Bean, Thermo Technology, and the New Hampshire Hospital Association before her retirement. Beyond her professional accomplishments, her hobbies showcased her artistic side. Whether she was in the kitchen cooking up a storm, creating intricate designs with cross stitching, or crafting warm quilts, Patricia's creativity enriched the lives of all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
