HEALY, Patricia Anne “Patty” …
Patricia Anne Healy passed away suddenly in London, Ontario on Thursday, March 20, 2025, in her 71st year. Beloved mother of Mike (Michelle) of London. Cherished Granny of Jayden Ethier, Kaitlyn Healy, Ethan Healy, and Echo Healy. Dear sister of Arthur (Faith) Pigeon and Mary-Lee (Gus) Bennett. Predeceased by her brother Larry Pigeon. She will also be missed by her nieces and nephew.
Patricia, “Patty,” wore many hats throughout her 70 years. Born in Stratford, Ontario where she remained for the first 23 years. She left to pursue a Medical Lab technician’s residency in both London, and Chatham, then employed at Sunnybrook Hospital, Trauma unit in Toronto, Ontario.
Patty found love, bought a home, and was married in 1979, moving to the Lake Huron area, near the town of Forest, Ontario. She was employed by Sarnia/Blue Water Health, until giving birth to her beloved son. Upon her return to work, she was hired at Lambton College as a Lecturer in the medical health field program until its discontinuance. Patti then found gainful employment within the town of Forest’s educational environment, as a practicing educational assistant at St. John Fisher. Her presence was mostly noted through the town of Forest’s Canada Post. She became the friendly postmaster, making memorable relationships, and connections within the town until retirement in 2017.
After retirement, Patty found joy and happiness through travels, spending time with her family and grandchildren, reminiscing with close friends, and in volunteering and engaging with the local community. She gave her time, love, and effort to the Forest Circles program, at the local Community Health Centre. Throughout her well lived life she created lasting memories, loving family moments, and amazing friendships. She was a pillar of light in both our family and her local community.
The family would like to thank her best friend Becky Johnson for the lasting unforgettable friendship, time, effort, and comfort given. The family is also thankful to the dedicated staff at both University Hospital (London), and Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital for their compassionate care of Patty.

Mike and family, we were shocked and saddened to hear about your Mom. Patty was a wonderful lady, full of fun and always with a smile. We are sending our sympathy and hugs your way. Patty was loved and will be sadly missed.
Granny, I miss you more then words can describe you were my hero, Rest in peace
Mike and family, I know how terribly you are missing your mom and grandmother. I am too. But I have to admit that when I think of her I start to laugh, not cry. She was so funny and caring……truly the best kind of friend and partner in crime that anyone could have. Not everyone is lucky enough to have had a Patty in their lives so I will be thankful and cherish all those wonderful memories. I know you will too. Take care.
Very sorry to hear about the loss of your mother Mike. Condolences to all you hold dear.
