Wilton, NY - Patricia A. Greenwood passed away quietly on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at Saratoga Hospital.

Patricia was born on May 3, 1954, in Saratoga Springs, NY. She was the granddaughter of the late Edmund and Ruth Reilly of Jumel Place, Saratoga Springs, NY.

Patricia was an alumna of Saint Clement’s School and graduated from Saratoga Springs High School in 1972. Patricia and the love of her life, John Greenwood, first held hands on a yellow school bus after a ski trip to Gore Mountain in 1970. They would marry on June 15,1974 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Greenfield Center, NY. It would have been their 52nd wedding anniversary in June 2026.

Patricia retired from the Bursar’s Office at Skidmore College in May 2019. She embraced the diversity of the students she was responsible for and the supportive atmosphere of the wonderful coworkers who surrounded her.

Patricia was proud of her Irish heritage and being a parishioner of St. Clement's Roman Catholic Church. She was a staunch advocate of child abuse prevention and victim advocacy programs.

Patricia’s love of sewing began in high school, when she would take her babysitting money to buy patterns and materials to make her own clothing. Her love of the craft continued throughout her life, making her own curtains and even creating a family demand for her one-of-a-kind face masks during COVID. She also loved making her home a warm and comforting refuge from the unpredictability of the outside world.

She was predeceased by her younger brothers, Paul (Bing) Biggie, Philip Biggie, and her dear aunt, Regina Reilly.

Patricia is survived by her husband, John Greenwood; her sons, Brendan (Stacy) Greenwood and Kevin (Suzanne) Greenwood; her five grandsons, Michael Greenwood, Garrett Greenwood, Caleb Greenwood, Cohen Greenwood, and Cameron Greenwood; and her great-granddaughter, Gracelee Greenwood.

Funeral services will be private.
