My thoughts and prayers go out to Pat's family. I know they will have wonderful memories of her to warm their hearts. Pat will be always be remembered for her love and generosity. I worked with Pat for many years at the insurance agency. She was one of the hardest working, most dedicated people I have ever known. Her involvement with church and charities touched many lives. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Pat held a special place in my heart. I admired her as a woman and my friends mother. She was kind, caring and did a lot for others. I will miss seeing her smile and the beautiful flowers she'd grow in her yard. My heart goes out to the family at this time of loss and especially to my friend Terry. May God fill your hearts with peace and healing at this difficult time. A Beautiful Soul is never forgotten.
I spent many years working with Pat at the insurance agency and then when we were retired, we spent time doing volunteer work for Catholic Charities. Pat's devotion to helping others and working hard never stopped. She loved her family and, as with any mother, spent time sharing stories about them. Her love for them was very evident. She left all of us who knew her with wonderful memories. Rest in Heaven, dear friend.
