Pat spent her winters in Florida with her beloved partner, John Irwin, until his passing in January of 2001. She continued to winter in Florida thereafter, cherishing that time with her sisters and enjoying the warmth, companionship, and special routines they shared.

She especially loved shopping and lunch dates with her sisters and could happily spend hours at TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Savers and Goodwill. A very thrifty person, always having an eye for the best treasures and took such joy in finding a “new good find.” She would often celebrate her latest bargain over lunch the very next day, a tradition that brought her so much happiness.

Pat also truly enjoyed life’s simple pleasures — a good glass of wine, laughter with family, and making memories together.

She is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews. Arrangements are private and under the direction of the Lynch-Cantillon Funeral Home, 263 Main Street, Woburn, MA 01801.

CORINNE DIANA (BUTTARO, FORMERLY MERNIN), of Provincetown, formerly of Woburn, died peacefully on February 1st, at the age of eighty-two. A longtime Woburn resident, she lived an extraordinary life as daughter, student, mother, wife, stepmother, feminist, attorney, poet, politician, scholar, sponsor, activist, lover, confidante, mentor, and friend.

Born a wartime orphan in Boston in 1943, Corinne was adopted by parents Ray and Norma (Hubbard) Buttaro, who raised her in East Cambridge before moving to Woburn, where their only daughter attended public schools. A star student, baton twirler, pianist, and acrobat in traveling revues, Corinne graduated from Woburn Memorial High School in 1960. As a young woman, she enjoyed lifeguarding at Horn Pond and tea socials at the old YMCA on Main Street.

She studied Executive Secretarial at Boston University, where she was a member of the Sigma Kappa Sorority and marched at the front of the University Band as Lead Majorette. She earned a B.A. in 1964. Along the way, she spent a semester at New York University, where she befriended jazz musicians like Thelonius Monk and writers like Jack Kerouac. In New York, she gave birth to her first child.

Returning to Woburn, she married fellow Woburnite Thomas J. Mernin and settled into family life, giving birth to two more children. She earned a Master’s in English Literature from Northeastern University, protested the War in Indochina, became one of Woburn’s top female tennis players, then studied for a PhD in English Literature at Brandeis University, with the goal of becoming a noted poet.

Family responsibilities delayed those literary dreams, so Corinne turned her eye to politics. Elected to the Woburn School Committee in 1976, she served as Chair, negotiating contracts and leading the Committee through a time of financial constraints. As Chair of the Woburn Democratic City Committee, she ran unsuccessfully for State Representative in 1978 and was instrumental in the election of Massachusetts Governor Edward J. King, in whose administration she served as Assistant Secretary for Education. She then studied law at Suffolk University, earning a J.D. in 1981.

For many years, as an attorney in private practice, Corinne was a fixture at the Woburn District Court and at Woburn Square eateries like Marco’s, where she held informal court at a table called “Corinne’s Corner.” A skilled and ribald storyteller, she took great pleasure in sharing tales of frustrating prosecutors and police alike with her skillful work representing a long list of mostly young defendants.

For five decades, Corinne served as an informal, unpaid advisor to generations of women all over Eastern Massachusetts, helping them recover from addictions or rebuild their lives as survivors of domestic violence. These women’s lives serve as testimony to her deepest values and tireless efforts.

In 2004, Corinne was proud to be part of the first same-sex couple married in Woburn, soon after legalization of those unions. She lived for decades as a trailblazer, proud member, and public figure in the LGBTQ community.

After her semi-retirement, she moved to Provincetown, where she had long kept a home. There she enjoyed the lively LGBTQ culture, walked the dunes and beaches, served on the Town Licensing Board, performed at poetry slams, wrote and published collections of verse, including “Lesbian in Hiding,” and produced and starred in stage performances like “The Va**na Monologues.”

Corinne was pre-deceased by parents Ray and Norma (Hubbard) Buttaro, beloved former partners Tracy J. Rollins of California and Janet Murphy of Melrose, and many loving relatives and friends.

She is survived by children KD Mernin of Provincetown, Brendan Mernin and his wife Laureen Gage of New Jersey, and Tracy Grenier-Mernin and her wife Karen of Somerville; stepsons Philip Dumont of Lewiston, Maine and James Dumont of Wayland; grandchildren Gabriela Mernin of Brooklyn, New York, Nuala Mernin of Union City, New Jersey, and Riley O’Rourke of Boston.

A Funeral Service will be held on Friday February 6th at 11am in the Lynch-Cantillon Funeral Home, 263 Main Street, Woburn. Interment will follow in Woodbrook Cemetery. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to calling hours on Thursday, February 5th, from 4 to 7 p.m. in the Lynch-Cantillon Funeral Home, 263 Main Street, Woburn.

Hank worked for many years with Frito-Lay and was a proud member of the Local Teamsters, eventually retiring in 1994. He was actively involved in the community and was a member of the Knights of Columbus, the Elks, and the Jaycees in Woburn.

A devoted sports fan, Hank was a lifelong supporter of all Boston sports teams. He also enjoyed simple pleasures — time with family, good conversation, and the routines that made life meaningful to him.

Robert “Bozzi” Cogan, of Woburn, passed away suddenly on Wednesday, January 14th, at the age of 79. He was the beloved husband of 51 years to the late Lorraine (Fiumara) Cogan, with whom he shared a lifetime of love, devotion, and companionship.

Born and raised in Woburn, Robert was the cherished son of the late Ralph and Mary Elizabeth (Canney) Cogan. He was a proud graduate of Woburn High School and went on to serve his country in the United States Army for one year.

Bozzi was a devoted family man whose greatest joy was his family. He was the loving father of Valerie Cogan and her partner Jason Power, and Meredith Olson and her husband Donald, all of Woburn. He was the proud and cherished grandfather of Sofia, Jenna, Matthew, and Madison, and took great pride in attending their sporting events, always cheering them on from the sidelines.

After returning from the Army, Robert worked at a local Woburn tannery before starting his own business running a canteen truck route throughout the North Shore of Massachusetts. A hardworking man his entire life, he later built a long career in inventory control at United Stationers, where he eventually retired. He took great pride in an honest day’s work and in providing for his family.

One special evening out dancing changed his life forever when he shared a dance with a young woman named Lorraine. From that moment on, they were inseparable. They married in 1969 and chose Woburn as the place to build their home and raise their family. Together they enjoyed traveling throughout New England and beyond, often taking scenic rides to coastal towns in search of the perfect lobster roll. They also loved spending time with family, hosting poker nights with friends, and attending music festivals where Bozzi could often be found enjoying the music and dancing alongside Lorraine.

Robert had a deep appreciation for the outdoors. He enjoyed golfing, hiking, spending time at the beach, and especially nature photography, often searching for birds and capturing the beauty around him. He and Lorraine also treasured their winters spent in Fort Myers, creating lasting memories together.

A loyal Boston sports fan, Bozzi followed all the hometown teams, but nothing brought him more joy than watching his grandchildren play sports. Kind, devoted, and full of life, Robert will be remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him, but his legacy of family, hard work, and fun-loving, wild-at-heart spirit will live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind.

Calling hours will be held in the Lynch-Cantillon Funeral Home, 263 Main St., Woburn, on Thursday, January 22nd, from 4 – 7 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Bozzi’s memory to the Tanner Ta Ta Foundation, 100 Tower Office Park, Unit F, Woburn, MA 01801.
