Patricia Ann "Pat" Boland

Patricia "Pat" A. Boland, 79, passed away April 15, 2026 after a long illness.

Pat graduated from Garfield High School in Akron and retired from MRDD as a bus assistant after 30 years.

Pat had a great love for dogs, puzzles, playing games on her tablet and roast beef dinners from Hartville Kitchen. If you were a friend in need, she was always willing to help.

Preceded in death by her parents Eugene and Mary Boland, brothers Tommy and Eugene, and sister Mary Lou Pirogowicz, she will be deeply missed by her "Second" family, the Shackelfords, whom she was a part of for 53 years.

Per Pat's request, there will be no services, and she will be laid to rest privately at Hillside Memorial Park. For those who wish, donations in Pat's memory are suggested to the animal shelter of your choice. To leave a special message for Pat's loved ones, please visit the guest book below.
