Patricia Snow

Patricia (Pat) Ann Snow (Lyons), 92, most recently of Hopkinton, died peacefully at her daughter’s home on Feb. 2, 2026. Her husband of 53 years, James C. Snow, predeceased her in 2010.

She is survived by her daughters, Lynne A. Peters of Hopkinton and Karen J. Snow of Spencer; her sons, Michael J. Snow and wife Karen of Webster, Jeffrey D. Snow and partner Piyaporn Kemp of Charlton; as well as her beloved granddaughter, Jaime L. Snow and husband Steve of Hopkinton. Additionally, grandchildren Jennifer Schneider, Benjamin Snow and wife Kirsten, Tucker Snow-Girard, Kellyn Genest and husband Tylor, Luke Snow-Girard, and Jamison Snow, as well as nine great-grandchildren. Pat’s brother James F. Lyons Jr. predeceased her in 2016.

Pat was born in Worcester to James F. and Grace M. (Sullivan) Lyons. She spent her childhood there before graduating from the former Commerce High School in 1951. Upon marrying Jim in 1957, she ventured out to the “country,” settling in his hometown of Spencer. There she spent the next five decades raising her family, keeping up with the extended Snow clan and visiting quaint back road B&B’s with Jim.

Her most cherished memories were of times spent with Jamie and her great-grandsons Lawson and Welles. She also spoke often of her trip to Ireland, where she went about exploring the birth towns of her grandparents while Jim experienced the local pubs.

Things that come to mind as we think of her: cashmere sweaters, hot fudge sundaes, TJ Maxx, fish & chips, her red hair, sudoku puzzles, English muffins with orange marmalade, cozy pj’s, a glass of chardonnay, the hairstyle she had for 40 years, those questionable one-liners and so much more. Oh Gram, we will miss you …

A Mass will be held in her memory on Saturday, March 14, at 11 a.m. at St. Bernard’s Church, 228 Lincoln Street, Worcester. There are no calling hours. Pat’s burial will be held privately at the convenience of the family. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Callanan Cronin Funeral Home, Hopkinton.
