Patricia A. Frano, of Cos Cob, passed away on March 14, 2026, at age 77, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on January 15, 1949, to John & Frances McCabe.
Pat was a Registered Nurse with a long and dedicated career that included positions at Stamford Hospital, Greenwich Hospital, family medicine and skilled nursing facilities.
She concluded her professional journey at Nathaniel Witherall before retiring. Pat had a loving heart, evident through her countless acts of charity. Each Christmas, Pat “adopted” a child that she would shower with gifts to make their season brighter. She was a skilled knitter lending her talents to Neighbor to Neighbor and was an avid gardener and reader. She completed two marathons and loved to take neighborhood walks through Cos Cob with her dear friends.
She was very proud of her Irish dual citizenship and loved to travel both with family and a very special group of travel companions. She enjoyed regular lunches with high school classmates and keeping in contact with her nursing school friends.
Pat leaves behind her devoted husband, Andrew Frano, cherished daughters, Shanon Jordan (Keith), Hannah Grabinski (Bill) and Erin LaFavor (Brandon), and loving grandchildren, Margaret, Maeve, Quinn, Olivia, Andrew, Matthew, Jillian and Patrick. She is the dear sister of John McCabe (Theresa) and Dennis McCabe (Lynn). Pat is also survived by her sister Nancy Frano (Jack), her
chosen daughter Melissa Jordan (Kevin), grandchildren Tyler & Colin along with many beloved nieces and nephews. Pat is predeceased by her daughter Kathryn.
