Priscilla "Pat" Saliga

Priscilla “Pat” (Keenan) Saliga, 84 of Hudson, passed away peacefully on Friday, February 9, 2018 at her home, surrounded by her loving family. She is reunited in heaven with her beloved husband of 59 years, Donald F. Saliga.

Pat was born in Boston, MA, a daughter of the late John and Maryann (Dufrense) Keenan. She grew up in Bedford, Ma and graduated from Lexington High School. She went on to earn her nursing degree and worked as a nurse for some time. She later married the love of her life, Donald Saliga and together they eventually moved to Hudson where she has resided for the past 52 years.

Pat’s life was deeply rooted in her Catholic faith, she was a former member of Christ the King Church and later at Saint Michael Parish in Hudson, where she served as an Eucharistic Minster and was a member of the Ladies Sodality. Pat took Christ as her example and lived to reflect Philippians 2, “in humility value others above yourself.” Thus she lived happily serving the Church, her family, friends, the homeless and the community as an RN. Above all else she was a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother, who devoted her life to caring for her family.

Saliga and his wife Linda of Marlborough, Mary-Ellen Sherman and her husband Steve of Hudson, Brain R. Saliga of Hudson, Patrick J. Saliga and his wife Jill of Hudson, John K.
