Let Us Pray
Into your hands, O merciful Savior, we commend your servant. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech you, sheep of your own fold, lambs of your own flock, sinners of your own redeeming. Receive her into the arms of your mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light. Amen.
May the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Patricia Cutler Joy
August 21, 1935 – June 10, 2025
The Reverend Patricia Cutler Joy died on June 10, 2025. To listen well is a great gift and the Rev. Patricia Cutler Joy listened with her whole being in her service as an agent of the Lord. Pat’s given gift was to be still in the presence of another’s pain. She held hearts and hands as she helped others to heal in her role as an RN at Hartford Hospital and McLean Health Center in Simsbury, CT, as well as for 25 years as a nurse at an alcohol and drug detox center in Hartford, CT.
As a lifelong faithful and spirit-filled Episcopalian, she continued her healing journey, studying and becoming an ordained Episcopal Deacon at the age of 55, serving at St. Andrew’s in Enfield, CT, until returning to serve at her heart center: Trinity Episcopal Church in Tariffville, CT.
The Rev. Pat’s family welcomes friends and family on June 25, 2025, from 5 – 7 PM at Hayes- Huling & Carmon funeral home, 364 Salmon Brook St., Granby, CT. A memorial service will be held on June 26 at 3 PM at Trinity Episcopal Church, 11 Church Street, Tariffville, CT. A private burial will follow in the Trinity Memorial Garden. All are welcome to the reception following the service.
Donations in Pat’s memory may be made to Trinity Episcopal Church and McLean Hospice Care.
