Patricia Combs died shortly after Midnight on April 29th. Patricia was a long-time resident of Berkley Massachusetts where she and her Husband Kenneth ran the Berkley General Store and raised their family. She and Kenneth moved from Berkley to Marathon Florida where they lived for more than 20 years until Kenneths passing in 2011, at which time she relocated back to Massachusetts to be close to her family.

In addition to being the Proprietor of the Berkley General Store for nearly 30 Years, Patricia worked for the Town of Berkley in the Tax Collectors office after the sale of the business in 1976. After she and Kenneth moved to Marathon Florida, they enjoyed fishing, boating, playing cards, and socializing with their many friends, relatives, and neighbors.
