Longtime Norwood resident and Montefiore Medical Center employee Patricia Klass was honored during the recent homecoming event at Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Epiphany in Norwood.
Born in Barbados, and one of 10 siblings, Klass moved to the United States in 1968 and worked as an RN at MMC for 27 years before retiring in 1996.
Known for her “broad smile and beautiful singing voice,” Klass was recognized as the homecoming guest of honor for her work running Epiphany’s thrift shop, overseeing the altar guild, and other community and church services.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
