Wallingford Center in South Central Region, Connecticut — The American Northeast (New England)
Patricia Mary Coyle
by her Wallingford classmates and friends.
Tricia, a Boston College junior, was returning
home from a semester of study in Vienna when a
terrorist bomb destroyed the airplane over Lockerbie, Scotland on December 21, 1988.
We remember her zest for learning, her energy,
her smile, her beauty. Tricia's bright presence lives on
in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
