Grindell, Patricia (Thacher), daughter of the late Frederick and Ruth (Sylver) Thacher, was a proud Yarmouth Port native. Born in Hyannis on May 13th, 1944, Pat passed away on June 15, 2020 after a brief battle with cancer.

Known as “Gram” to all, Pat rarely met a stranger on her daily adventures around town. She could easily converse with everyone she met and was an incredible storyteller, often sharing her vast history and knowledge of all things Cape Cod. Pat adored animals and spoiled every pet she had beyond measure. Family was always her first priority, and her grandchildren and great grandchildren were a source of immense pride for her. She regularly bragged about their accomplishments.

She is survived by her husband, Barry, her son, BJ, as well as 7 step children, two grandchildren, and 9 great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by both of her parents, her brother, Fred Thacher, her daughter, Lisa, and grandson, Dwayne

. A private graveside service will be held Friday for family and close friends. In lieu of flowers please donate to Cape and Islands United Way, 1600 Falmouth Rd., P. O. Box 367, Centerville, MA 02632.

Our deepest sympathies for all of Pat’s family. Such a wonderful person. We always enjoyed camping with her and seeing her at gatherings. She will be missed. Paul and Darlene Shea and family

Patty, I will miss our may conversations at our local grocery stores and Job Lot, we seemed to meet there every year while shopping for Christmas wrappings. I so enjoyed your many stories of you grandchildren and great grandchildren, you were the most proud grandmother ever. May you rest in peace.
