Patricia “Patty” Ann Odencrantz
COLUMBIA, MO – Our sweet sister, Patty, left us on July 20, 2024, at the age of 58. Patty was born in Lebanon, NH, grew up on Smith Street in Augusta, graduated from Cony High School and lived in Florida for most of her adult life.
After graduating from Parkland College (Champaign, IL), she worked as a medical transcriptionist for over 30 years. Patty was the youngest of four children and her kind soul radiated through her beautiful brown eyes. Although afflicted with a terrible illness for over 40 years, Patty never complained and always kept a positive attitude.
Patty will be sadly missed by her father, Edward; brothers Joseph and John, sister Mary and her childhood best friends, Sarah and Mary Ellen. Patty was predeceased by our mother, Frances A. Vasquez, and her godmother, Laurine Coggins. Our sister Patty had one daughter, Courtney, and one grandchild, Sam.
Patricia’s final resting place is Calvary Cemetery, St. Patrick’s Section, South Portland, Maine and with our mother, Frances, and our grandparents, Thomas and Katherine Riley.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
