Patricia Lee Wyatt, 67
Patricia Lee Wyatt, 67, of Columbia Falls, died after a long, courageous battle with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and leukemia on Dec. 6, 2021. She died at home surrounded by her loving family.
Born on Feb. 8, 1954, in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, she is the daughter of the late Robert E. and Claire C. Cahill. Tricia was well known for her great sense of humor, love and empathy toward others and her zest for life.
She graduated from North Smithfield Junior Senior High School in 1972. Following graduation, she attended Bryant College in Smithfield, Rhode Island. Soon after, she married and raised a family. She taught aerobics for Burrillville Adult Education and loved camping at the beach and riding her motorcycle.
Tricia worked for several law offices in Rhode Island, Florida and Montana. Tricia moved to Columbia Falls to be with her family and new friends that became her family. Spending lots of time with her grandchildren was a top priority. Sitting around a campfire with those she loved with a glass of wine was pure joy.
She is survived by her son Matthew Wyatt and wife Jenn and their two children, Stella and Autumn, her son Nathan and his wife Jaime and their three children Wesley, Willow, and Waverly, also Floyd Wyatt, former husband and lifelong friend, Bill and Rhonda Walker and their son Billy and Caroline and Bill Walker.

She is also survived by several nieces and nephews and very close friends.
