Margaret Patricia (Pat) Sellersdied on Sunday, December 13th, 2020, at the Hanover Terrace Nursing Home, after a prolonged bout with Alzheimer's disease.

Pat was born on Feb 27th 1938, in Dublin, Ireland. Her mother, Margaret died when she was very young and her father, John Sharkey, had gone to England to find work, so she spent her early years in Goldenbridge Orphanage in County Wicklow. Ireland. At the age of 17 she left Ireland to take up a job in the Kingussie Sanitorium in Scotland and later moved to Sheffield, England where she became a Registered Nurse at the Royal Hospital. It was there that she met her husband to be, Barrie Sellers, who was studying at Sheffield University to become a mining engineer.

After a short nursing stint at Guy's Hospital in England she joined Barrie in Elliot Lake Canada where they were married. They immigrated to the United States in 1963, where they lived in Adelphi Maryland after Barrie took a job with the U.S. Bureau of Mines. In 1965 they moved to Rifle, Colorado to work in the Oil Shale Research program. When this program was closed, they moved to Denver. Their last move, in 1975, with five children in tow, was to Hanover NH, to start a new company called Geokon.

Pat was an excellent mother, raising five children, and a great homemaker. She found time to do volunteer work at the Hanover Terrace nursing home and was one of the original volunteers of the Pink Smock gift store at the Mary Hitchcock Hospital. She worked for years as a dental assistant and later, worked for a time as a sales lady at Talbot's women's clothing store and was active in St Denis church. She traveled extensively with her husband to many parts of the world. She had a preternatural ability to make friends and was loved by many.

In her last years she was stricken by Alzheimer's and was well looked after, for two and a half years, by the wonderful people at Hanover Terrace.

She leaves behind her husband, Barrie, and five children: Graham, Denver Co; Helen, San Mateo, Ca; Janet, Denver, Co; Geoffrey, White River Junction, Vt; James, Barrington, NH; ten grand-children and a sister, Rosanna Hadley, in Leatherhead Surrey, England.

A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at the St Denis Catholic Church in Hanover on Monday, December 21st at 1:00pm. Burial will follow at the Pine Knoll Cemetery in Hanover, NH.

Arrangements are being handled by the Rand-Wilson Funeral Home of Hanover, NH.
