Monson-Patricia (Boudreau) Loncto, 92, passed away November 29, 2025. She was born on November 14, 1933, in Hartford, CT to the late Edmund and Irene (Papineau) Boudreau. Pat started her career as a bookkeeper upon graduating from Monson High School at Liberty Liquors in Springfield. She continued her career as a bookkeeper for credit unions for the past 55 years, most currently with The Polish National Credit Union right up until her passing.

Pat is survived by her siblings, Lillian Carpenter, her husband Harold, Joyce Cookman, and Joan Genholt, all of Monson, and Donald Boudreau and his wife Carol of South Carolina. She leaves behind her “daughter” and closest friend Anne Pelletier. She leaves behind several nieces and nephews, Frances, Brandy, Christopher, Jon, Matthew, Jennifer, Paul, Kathy, Joyce, Daniel, Robin, Carol, and Lisa, as well as several grandnieces and grandnephews.

She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Gene Loncto, her sister Muriel Dewey, and her nephews, Wayne, Tom, and Mark.

Pat was a vibrant and loving individual with a deep passion for animals and her love of the outdoors. She inspired several nieces with her love of horses. She was a founding member of The Moon Mountain Mounties, participating on horseback in shows, parades, and more.

Pat owned and ran Blue Willow Dog Obedience Training School with her sister Joyce Cookman, Ann Boyer, and Anne Pelletier. She owned, trained, and showed many canine friends over the years.

In the early eighties, Pat and her late husband Gene started the Gingerbread House Restaurant at Sunsetview Farm Camping Area in Monson and served fabulous food and desserts to us for many years.

Pat had many diverse interests; line dancing with her sisters, holistic healing, needlepoint, glassworks, and DYI projects with her late sister Muriel. She was also an accomplished organist.

Pat’s warmth, laughter, and zest for life will be remembered fondly by all who knew her. In lieu of flowers please make a memorial contribution in Pat’s name to a charity that speaks to you.

A celebration of life will be announced and is planned for Spring.
