Patricia Bradshaw Bouille

Age 82, passed away at home, surrounded by her loving family, on Friday, December 19, 2025. Patrica was born in Batavia NY, the daughter of the late Clifton G and Virginia Bickers Bradshaw.

Patricia is survived by daughter Jennifer Virciglio of Elmira with her daughter Hannah Virciglio; son and daughter-in-law Revs. John and Callie Bouille of Zebulon NC with their daughters Hazel, Savannah and Kenly Bouille; brother and sister-in-law Robert and Rosa Bradshaw of Agoura Hills CA.

Patricia’s father was a warden for the New York State Corrections. Transfers from one correctional facility to another took Patricia and her family to live in several different New York State communities while she was growing up. After settling in the Elmira Heights area, she graduated from Thomas A. Edison High School in 1961. After high school she moved to California and worked for CBS. She returned home to Elmira and started working for NY Telephone as a switchboard operator and retired after more than 30 years of service. Patricia was an active member of Holy Trinity Lutheran and made the transfer to Bethany Lutheran Church when the two combined. She volunteered for the "No One Dies Alone" Program. Patricia was very social, and her friends were very important to her. Patricia had a busy lunch schedule, be it with high school friends, her church family, her phone company friends or other members of the community. She loved making cookies, especially at Christmas time. Patricia was devoted to her family and extremely proud of her four granddaughters.

Family and friends are invited to call at McInerny Funeral Home, 502 W. Water St., Elmira, on Saturday, December 27, 2025 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. A funeral service will follow at 12:00 noon. Burial will take place in Forest Lawn Memorial Park at a later date.
