Bangor, Maine - Patricia A. Lawrence, 79, passed away on January 20, 2026, at a Bangor health care facility. She was born in Bangor on May 26, 1946, the daughter of the late Leander and Isabelle (Jollimore) Harnish.

Patricia attended school in Winterport and worked for many years as a legal secretary at the law offices of Rudman-Winchell, where she eventually retired. Her greatest joy was spending time with her children and grandchildren, especially attending their sporting events and various recitals. Patricia also loved music, most notably the Eagles. Seeing them live was always on her bucket list and that wish was finally fulfilled a few years ago thanks to her oldest grandson, Alex and Caitlyn. We will always cherish the memories of her randomly jumping up to sing and dance at family functions.

Patricia is survived by her daughter, Robin Mort and her husband, Brian, of Palermo; her son, Frederick "Buddy" Lawrence and his wife, Amber, of Brewer; four grandchildren, Alex Lawrence and his partner, Caitlyn, Camryn Bouchard, Abigail Lawrence, and Aaron Lawrence; one great-grandson, Tobias Lawrence; one sister, Joyce Reynolds and her husband, Earl, of Enfield, CT; and two brothers, Leslie Harnish, of West Springfield, MA, and Daniel Harnish of Winterport; as well as many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, Patricia was predeceased by five sisters, Elizabeth Albert, Anna Harnish, Lillian Barron, Jeannette Quimby, and Anita Watson; and four brothers, George, Henry, William, and Hank Harnish. Special thanks to the staff at Constellation Hospice Services for all their amazing care and support for Patricia during the past several months of her life.

A graveside service will be held in the spring at Oak Hill Cemetery, Winterport.
