Patricia Tigges, Age 74, passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of her family. She was the daughter of the late Charles George Undutch and Immacolata Fortuna (Ferullo). Dear sister of the late Marguerite and the late Anthony Russo.
Patricia was the beloved mother of Theresa and her husband Mark Coscia of Lynnfield, Marie and her late husband Coty Ransom of Peabody, Joseph W. Ferullo and Cheryl of Revere. She was also a proud and loving grandmother to Joseph, Arianna, and Amaya, who brought her endless joy and pride.
She was predeceased by her former husband, Walter J. Tigges and her companion John A. Cassidy. Patricia retired from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Revenue in 2010. She cherished her sons-in-law. She loved Coty’s collard greens, beans and eagerly anticipated Mark’s surprise dessert each evening.
Patricia found joy in spending time with her furry "grand pups" Higgins, Bailey, Jaxson, Moab, Zion, and Lucas. She adored her three grandchildren. She enjoyed going to “the girls” basketball games, dance recitals and cheering on Joseph during his football games. She was their #1 fan. She looked forward to the weekends in Rangeley, Maine sitting by the fire or sailing on the lake, playing BINGO with her Aunt Elena at the day center and her long telephone conversations with her cousin Sal, reminiscing about their childhood.
The family takes comfort in believing she is together again with loved ones who preceded her, and they will always cherish her love in their hearts. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, aunt and friend whose warmth, strength, and kindness touched everyone who knew her.
A Funeral Mass will be at Saint Maria Goretti Church on Chestnut Street in Lynnfield on Friday, April 17, 2026, at Noon. Family and friends are kindly invited to attend. Interment will be in Holy Cross Cemetery.
