Keohane Funeral Home

Beatrice Pattavina Sloan of Hull, formerly of Duxbury and Weymouth, died February 14, 2018.

Beatrice adored her family and cherished the time they spent together.  Their fondest memories were at Saquish Beach in Duxbury where they enjoyed boating, bonfires, fishing, clam digging and swimming.  She was a widow at age 50 which started a new chapter in her life involving travel to Spain, France, and beyond.  A community minded lady she was instrumental in the efforts to keep the carousel in Hull as well as a member of the Duxbury, Weymouth and Hull Garden Clubs.  Education was paramount and she certainly excelled by her time at Regis College followed by Women’s Medical College in Philadelphia.  She enjoyed being a mentor to so many and was always looking for ways to give back and help people accomplish their goals.  A fan of live music she enjoyed Bruce Springsteen, Pavorarti, Lyle Lovett and Chris Botti.  She will be remembered as a one of a kind, true original, who loved life, laughter and music.

Sloan, III and his wife Debbie of CA.  Sister of Terese D’Urso and her husband Nino of Cohasset, Catherine Pattavina of Quincy, and the late Dr. Vincent Pattavina (Ret.
