Patricia A. Tighe, at 88

On Tuesday, August 6, 2024, Patricia A. (Conant) Tighe went home to God. She was 88.

Mrs. Tighe was born in Weymouth to Edith M. (Wells) and George L. Conant. She grew up in the Weymouth and Quincy area and graduated from Sacred Heart High School. Shortly after high school, she enlisted in the United States Navy. When she returned, she began taking courses at Berklee College of Music. 

She was a talented singer and sang at the Lenox Hotel in Boston for many years. It was there that she met the love of her life, Michael Tighe. The two hit it off and were soon married. The two settled in Hull and Mrs. Tighe would go on to live there for more than 50 years.

Mrs. Tighe was selfless and generous with her time. She was a devout Catholic and an oblate of St. Benedict. Mrs. Tighe was the cantor at St. Joseph’s Church and Glastonbury Abbey. She was at the Abbey so much that she found a second family there. When she wasn’t volunteering at the Abbey, Mrs. Tighe volunteered at Hull Town Hall to help with registering voters.

Mrs. Tighe was predeceased by her loving husband, Michael; her parents Edith and George Conant; her sisters, Barbara, Marion, Blanche, and Marie; her nieces Pamela, Marjorie, and Leslie Ann, and her nephew Dillio. Loving aunt to many nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and nephews and great grand-nieces and nephews.

At Mrs. Tighe’s request, visiting hours will be omitted, and in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Glastonbury Abbey, where she was a Benedictine Oblate and received her Benedictine name of Scholastica.

Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend the Mass of Celebration of Pat’s life, which will be held at the Glastonbury Abbey, 16 Hull St., Hingham on Thursday, August 22, at 10 a.m. Interment will follow at the Glastonbury Columbarium.
