Patricia Davis Klingenstein

Our family mourns the death of Patricia Davis Klingenstein, mother, grandmother, and matriarch who died peacefully on February 11, 2023.

Born and raised in Portland Maine, she was the only child of Dr. Harry and Sadie Davis. She went to Waynflete school in Portland and then to Smith College from which she graduated in 1951.

Her first love was her family. She was the glue that held it together. She loved dearly her husband, John, to whom she was married for 66 years. They met in college and never looked back. Her four children, Tom, Nancy, Andy and Sally, daughter-in-law, Julie, 10 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren loved her as much as she did them.
