Patricia LaVerne Greenfield

Patricia LaVerne Greenfield, 91, of Brunswick, Maryland, passed from this life on Monday, September 15, 2025, at her home in Brunswick, MD.

Born on January 29, 1934, in Brunswick, MD, she was the daughter of the late Martin and Anna Frances (Wenner) Greenfield.

Patricia was a 1952 graduate of Brunswick high school. She remained connected to many of her classmates throughout her life. Her leadership of the”Nifty Fifties” reunion committee over the years gave her joy in maintaining these friendships. Her dedication to her hometown was demonstrated as she volunteered for many years at the Brunswick Heritage Museum.

Pat went to work at Fort Detrick soon after graduating. After several years there, she took a job at National Institutes of Health in Bethesda. She retired in 1989 as an Administrative Officer. After she retired from the federal government, she was self employed with the McCutchen Foundation.

Pat was a member of Faith Baptist Church and served as a volunteer there at the Clothes Closet. She made many happy memories with the dear friends she had in her Sunday School class.

She is survived by two daughters, Terry James (Tom) and Kathy Sears (Carl) and one son-in-law, Pat Payne; six grandchildren, Chris Axline, Chanse Durnil (Andrew), Sara Axline, Tim George, Robin Birt (Derryck), and Brad George; ten great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; and a sister-in-law, Yasuko Greenfield. She will be remembered by many other cousins, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her daughter Cindy Payne (Pat), parents and eleven siblings including Sadie Greenfield, Thomas Greenfield, Edward Greenfield, Norman Greenfield, Lucille Snoots, Leona Merriman, Ernest (Bill) Greenfield, Betty Merriman, Wilson (Buck)Greenfield, Jean Baker, and Donald Greenfield.

Pat, also known as Mommom to her grandchildren and many others, treasured her time with the grandkids. She took them, along with assorted cousins, on several trips each summer. They spent time camping, going to OC, and driving to Florida to spend time at her Marco Island condo. She was so generous with the grandchildren and helped many of them out during her life. The grandkids were so precious to her.

Her family would like to thank Amada Senior Care and Frederick Health Hospice for their excellent care of our Mom.

The family will receive friends from 6-8 pm on Friday, September 19, 2025, at Stauffer Funeral Homes, P.A. (Brunswick), 1100 North Maple Avenue in Brunswick, MD.
