Patricia Ann Nikoloulias

March 20, 1938 - December 21, 2025 (Age 87)

Natick, Massachusetts – Patricia Ann (Ethier) Nikoloulias, 87, of Natick, passed away on Sunday, December 21, 2025 at her home.

Patricia (Pat, Patty) was born in Marlborough, Massachusetts; she was the daughter of the late Eliza (Hussian Ethier) Kiselewicz and Edmund Ethier, stepdaughter to Edward Kiselewicz. She was a proud member of the Marlborough High School Class of 1955.

Pat devoted more than 55 years to her work as an Avon representative, a role she carried out with enthusiasm, dedication, joy and a hilariously competitive spirit. Over time, many of her customers became dear friends, a testament to the warmth and humor that she brought to everything she did. Pat spent many years as an office manager and clerical administrator, where her love of numbers was matched only by her love of people. She found deep appreciation in life's simplest moments and for more than 50 years, lived on Dwight Avenue, a quiet and humble neighbor who never wished to be a burden on others.

Finding joy in ballroom dancing when she was younger, Pat often traveled to New York City (NYC) with her sister, Hope, for weekends of shopping and dancing at cultural institutions like Roseland. It's fitting that NYC is where her daughter would decide to call home. Pat loved bowling, (candlepin, of course), and was fortunate to spend many years traveling the world with her sister and family. A talented cook and gracious host, she loved filling her home with laughter and beautifully prepared meals in her younger years - the more, the merrier. Elisa will miss her meatballs and comfort meals (as will Alana).

With a wonderful sense of humor, Pat was known for her generosity, warmth, and compassion. She was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it. Her frequent phone calls with friends and family filled her days with such happiness. She was a caregiver through and through and she took on the role time and again with grace as her family was everything to her. Beaming with pride, she shared an especially close and loving bond with her daughter, who absolutely adored her. Pat will be fondly remembered by all who knew her for her kindness, laughter, and loving heart.

Pat is survived by her only child, Elisa Nicole Nikoloulias, and her husband, Carlos Gomez, of New York City (including the incredible family in Michigan & California that Elisa married into). Pat was predeceased by her sister, Hope Kiselewicz; her mother, Eliza (Hussian Ethier) Kiselewicz; her father, Edmund Ethier; and her stepfather, Edward Kiselewicz.

Words cannot express how much her daughter will miss her "Momma Bear", but knows that she will always be watching over as her newest guardian angel. Grammie, Puppie, and Auntie, please take care of her. Elisa knows that they've saved her a spot at a slot machine next to them. We love you, win big.

Burial will be private at Evergreen Cemetery, Wilson Street, Marlborough. Guests are invited to sign Pat's online guestbook at collinsfuneral.com. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of the Collins Funeral Home, 378 Lincoln Street, Marlborough.
