Patricia Eileen Remick

Hampton - Patricia “Pat” Eileen (Dunham) Remick, 92, a longtime resident of Rye, died peacefully with family at her side on January 19, 2023, at Cornerstone of Hampton following a period of declining health. Pat was born Jan. 9, 1931, in Hartford, CT, the youngest of three children of Ralph and Mary (Baker) Dunham. Pat moved to Portsmouth at an early age, along with her mother and brothers Ken and “Rusty.” She attended St. Pat’s School and graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1949. She married the love of her life, Austin Foster “Bib” Remick II, on Sept. 15, 1951, and they moved to Rye, where they built the home in which they lived for 56 years. They then moved to Portsmouth, where she remained for several years following Bib’s 2012 death. In 2021, she relocated to Cornerstone of Hampton. Married for 60 years, Pat and Bib enjoyed travel (including car rides on weekends), casinos, tennis, card-playing, and most of all attending athletic events and other activities of their three children and eight grandchildren. Pat was a stay-at-home mother until her children grew older. She then launched a real estate career, working for Gold Key, Prudential Rush Realty, and Atrio Properties over the following 15 years. She was an avid reader; skilled at knitting, crocheting, and ceramics; an expert bargain shopper; and possibly the last person in NH with a telephone party line. She loved music and going out to eat. Pat was known for her casseroles, marble squares, birthday cakes, shopping year-round for thoughtful gifts for her family, and her support of Democratic Party causes. She was a no-nonsense woman with a keen sense of righteous indignation and a beautiful smile. Pat is survived by children Pat Remick (Ralph Cavanagh) of Washington, D.C.; Mike (Dierdre) Remick of Newton, NH; and Judy Remick-Ward (Ron Ward) of Milton, NH. She leaves grandchildren Jessica Newcomb of Pennellville, NY; Ben (Liz) Remick of Fremont, NH; John (Courtney) Remick-Cook of Memphis, TN; Kate (Cliff) Ammann of Waltham, MA; Carey Ward of Milton; Dan Remick-Cook of Dorchester, MA; Amy (Tom) Burleigh of Nottingham, NH; and Sarah Ward (Aspen Christian) of Detroit, MI; as well as great-grandchildren Anna Newcomb; Matthew and Adalyn Burleigh; Lydia and Lauren Remick; and other extended family. The family thanks the warm and compassionate staff at Cornerstone and Rockingham VNA Hospice for their loving care of Pat. Visiting hours will be from 4 to 6 PM on Friday, February 3, 2023, in the Remick & Gendron Funeral Home - Crematory, 811 Lafayette Rd, Hampton.
