Patricia Smith's Obituary
WORCESTER _ Patricia Smith, 76, of Worcester, passed away Thursday, May 15, 2008, at Monroe Community Hospital, Rochester, after a lengthy illness.
She was born June 4, 1931, the daughter of Charles T. and Elizabeth (Lux) Faulds in San Pedro, Calif.

After retiring from her position as school nurse, Patricia continued to stay close to two of her favorite hobbies: books and children, as she served as the librarian at Worcester Free Library.

She was predeceased by her brother, Charles Faulds; and sister, Lois Warner.
Patricia was a member of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Worcester, the Worcester Library and the Worcester Women's Club.
