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.
