Patricia Elaine “Patty” Paliulis, 72, passed away on October 4th in Wayland, MA.
Born in Fitchburg, MA, on October 4, 1954, Patty was the daughter of Robert H. Bean and Martha (Poirier) Bean. She grew up in Fitchburg, belonged to Immaculate Conception Parish, and graduated from Fitchburg High School in 1972. She went on to graduate from the Chandler School for Women secretarial school in 1973 and later took evening management and accounting classes at Bentley College.
Patty married Algis L. “Al” Paliulis in September 1978. They moved to Hopkinton in 1980, where they raised their two sons, Michael and Alex. She considered one of the greatest gifts in her life to be the decision to stay home with her children during their preschool years. Summers were spent at the family’s house in Barnstead, NH. She later returned to work as a credit manager for Jaime Oil, where she spent 16 years before retiring in 2019.
Patty and Al loved the beaches of Ogunquit, MA. She was an avid reader who enjoyed nothing more than a couple of quiet hours with her favorite authors, Janet Evanovich, Michael Connelly, and John Sandford. She loved shopping, whatever the occasion, as well as decorating her home and planting flowers of every kind.
In addition to her husband of 48 years, Al, she is survived by her sons Michael Paliulis and his wife, Casey, and Alex Paliulis and his wife, Miranda; her grandchildren Fox, Alfie, Nolan and Blair; and her sisters Carolyn Beaulieu and her husband, James, Susan Bean and her husband, Ray Walton, and Nancy Cormier and her husband, Karl. She was predeceased by her parents and her brother, Robert Bean.
