MacKellar - Patricia A. (nee Pacile)At age 83, of East Amherst, NY, passed away on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, after an illness. Beloved wife of 45 years to Alexander MacKellar; devoted mother of Jackie (Justin Pietrzykowski) MacKellar, the late Lesley Stucchio and a son; adoring grandmother (nonna) of Rowan; loving daughter of the late Pasquale "Pat" and Marjorie (nee Pierce) Pacile. Patricia appreciated beauty and creativity in all its forms and delighted in sharing her passions and interests with others. She felt all things deeply, with high empathy for both animals and people (sometimes well concealed under her dry and sarcastic humor). Once she loved, she loved fiercely and without restraint. Her loss is deeply felt. A service and gathering are being planned. Details will be announced once finalized. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the SPCA Serving Erie County.
