WATERVILLE -Patricia M. Massey, 86, of Winslow, passed away peacefully with family by her side at Northern Light Continuing Care – Lakewood on Saturday, Jan. 6, 2024. Patricia was born on September 20, 1937 in Waterville Maine, the youngest child of Arthur and Obelia (Grenier) Gagne.

Patricia married the love of her life, Donald Massey, on September 21, 1957. Patricia spent most of her adult life caring for others. She was a CNA at both the Waterville Osteopathic Hospital and Lakewood Manor Nursing Home until her retirement in 1991.

Patricia was a devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, always so proud of everyone’s accomplishments. The special bond she created with each and every family member, especially those with her children, grandchildren, great-granddaughter and nieces, Cindy and Renee, will forever be held in their hearts.

When she wasn’t tending to her flower gardens, you could find Patricia cooking and baking in her kitchen. She loved looking through recipe books and making soup every week for her family. She was always up for an adventure and created many memories with her family at camp on Moosehead Lake.

Patricia was predeceased by her parents; her husband Donald; sons Bruce and Michael Massey; sisters Theresa Jesmer, Lorette Sawlivich and Simone Sawlivich; brothers Romeo, Lawrence and Norris Gagne; and son-in-law Todd Labbe.

Patricia is survived by her children Brenda Massey-Labbe and Todd Massey, and wife Cheryl; grandchildren Brittney Massey-Labbe, Kurt Massey and partner Angela, Brian Massey and wife Summer, and Kayla Massey; great-granddaughter Melody Massey; and several nieces and nephews whom she loved very much.
