Patricia Ozols

Patricia Marie (Danahy) Ozols, 80, a lifelong resident of Hopkinton, died March 28 at Mary Ann Morse Healthcare Center in Natick. She passed away peacefully with family at her side.

Pat was born in 1943 to Helen (Smith) Danahy and Raymond Danahy. She grew up on Grove Street and was a 1961 graduate of Hopkinton High School. In 1965, she married classmate Uldis “Odie” Ozols, to whom she remained married for more than 58 years.

A devoted nurse, Pat attended the Saint Vincent Hospital School of Nursing in Worcester and received her LPN certification in 1965. She spent much of her career working with her beloved Sisters of St. Joseph at Bethany Health Care Center in Framingham. She was outgoing, playful, curious, stubborn and kind. She loved her family, her friends, her pets, her country, the English language, fresh air, Broadway musicals, poems, crossword puzzles, the Boston Red Sox and Alex Trebek. She hated wearing hats. She chose to see the good in everyone, and she will be greatly missed.

In addition to her husband, Pat is survived by three daughters, Kristin Burg of Upton, Diana May of Milford, and Amy Ozols of New York City, as well as four grandchildren, one great-grandson, and her three loving brothers, Michael Danahy of Oxford, Mississippi, Raymond Danahy of Brevard, North Carolina, and John Danahy of Winchester, New Hampshire.

Following cremation, burial will take place at the convenience of the family. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Callanan Cronin Funeral Home.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions in Pat’s memory be made to Bethany Health Care Center (bethanyhealthcare.org) or the Mary Ann Morse Employee Fund (maryannmorse.org).
