Patricia J. Arrow

Patricia J. (Cutlip) Arrow, 82 of Charlestown, Rhode Island, died on November 17 after an extended illness. She was the wife of Russell Kolton and the daughter of the late Regina (Boyer) and Cecil Cutlip. She is survived by her sons, Kyle C. Rohm of Providence, RI, and Hans T. Rohm of Wendell, NC. Her first marriage was to the late Robert Rohm. Ms. Arrow danced with the State Ballet of Rhode Island and taught ballet in her dance studio located on Main Street in Wakefield for several years. A woman of many talents, she was a fiber artist and made colorful, whimsical quilts, constructed using organic cotton cloth which she hand-dyed. A self- taught quilter, she perfected her work during a summer workshop at the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts. Her quilts were shown at the Hera Gallery and are on display at Hasbro Children’s Hospital and other commissioned locations. She was a talented landscaper and gardener, enthusiastic decorator, and wonderful cook and baker. Patricia was also known for her constant sense of humor, making everything, including the most mundane of chores “fun.” Wearing plastic nose & glasses was a favorite gag of hers. Ms. Arrow also leaves her beloved sister, Bobbi Cutlip of Sedalia, OH and her grandchildren, Elsa S. Rohm and Aidan S. Rohm of Providence, RI and Casey L. Rohm of Charleston, SC, as well as her dear friend and former daughter in law, her ‘Lil Outlaw, Kim Rohm of Barrington, RI. A private gathering of remembrance will be held at a future date at the convenience of the family. Donations in her memory may be made to the Hera Gallery, 10 High Street, Wakefield, RI 02879.
