Here at Hi-Rock, we are saddened to learn of the passing of Patty Almeida. Our thoughts are with her family during this challenging time. Patty was a wonderful member of the Central Connecticut Coast YMCA staff and a beloved participant in our annual Women’s Wellness Weekend with all of her friends.

One of her many friends, Bev Bjorklund, has shared her thoughts and conveyance of Patty’s family wishes to honor her life by considering a donation to YMCA Camp Hi-Rock’s campership fund to help send kids to camp.

“Last week we lost a bright star. Our dear friend Patty Mastrianno Almeida passed unexpectedly and far too soon. I must believe her work here was done but somehow it doesn’t feel that way. Her joy, her unconditional love and her spectacular laugh will be missed by so many. My sincerest condolences to her family and her many friends. In her memory, please consider a donation to her beloved YMCA Camp Hi-Rock to help send kids to camp.”
