Patricia E. McPhee

Patricia E. McPhee, 76, of Concord, NH passed away peacefully on September 27th, 2023, in Lebanon, NH.  Pat was a wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, volunteer, and friend who touched the lives of many and will be deeply missed.

She was born on August 17th, 1947, in Cumbernauld, Scotland to the late Thomas and Margaret (Boyle) Stewart.  There she met her husband, Alexander (Sandy) with whom she ultimately enjoyed over 50 years of marriage.

In addition to her husband, she leaves behind her daughter, Lorna Dunne and son-in-law Ronan of Newton, MA and son Stewart McPhee and daughter-in-law Joanna of Concord, NH.  She also leaves behind her much-loved grandchildren, Caroline and Callum Dunne and family members across the US & UK. 

Prior to her retirement, Pat was a foreign language teacher in the Bedford, NH School District for over 20 years.  She was passionate about teaching and treasured the relationships with her students and fellow teachers.    

Pat also enjoyed volunteering at the local soup kitchen and providing English language mentoring for recent immigrants.  She loved a challenging puzzle and thoroughly enjoyed a good Louise Penny mystery novel.  Pat was an avid (and fast) walker and an accomplished hiker (having completed 42 of the 48 4000’ mountains in NH).  But most importantly, she treasured her relationships with friends and family.  She will be missed dearly. 

Funeral arrangements:  Friday, October 6^th at 11amat St. Paul’s Episcopal Church Concord, NH.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Soup Kitchen at St. Paul’s.
