Pat was truly one of a kind. I remember working with her and she never spoke unlikely about anyone. She also had a smile for everyone even if she was stressed. I know she will be missed by her loving family and friends. She is now in the arms of her mother and God.
I am saddened to see Pat go. She was very sweet and was a pleasure working with. May God give her eternal rest and the family the strength to bear the great pain.
Pat was a great woman and will be missed by all who knew her. I had the pleasure of knowing and working with her at the UA. She always had a smile on her face, no matter the circumstance. God Bless
Sending our Deepest Sympathy to the Family. We will keep you in our Prayers. Love,Gloria & Ronnie.
Frankie and Family,
We are so sorry to hear that you lost your beloved Pat.
We truly wish we could be there but circumstances prevented us from coming. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Our love,
Dave and Susan
May you find strength in the days, months and years ahead to get through this. Cherish the memories and never forget the amazing wife, sister, Mom, Mawmaw, Aunt, Cousin and friend she was! Your contagious smile will be dearly missed.
Frankie and family, our sincest sympathy. Pat was so special to us too and we will miss her so much. Be assured of our love, thoughts and prayers. May you be comforted in knowing how much she was loved by so many. May God reward her now for being such a great relative and friend to us all. Rest In Peace dear Pat. ❤️
I was saddened to hear of Pat’s death. Over the years that she and I had worked together, I had grown to appreciate Pat as one of the sweetest women I have ever known. (God forbid I ever call her Patricia; she would always correct me.) She claimed she didn’t understand the annual Super Bowl pools, but damned if she and I didn’t win a couple quarters in recent years that we shared a square. I will miss her little girl laugh and her friendly smiles, which were easy for her. She will live a long time in the memories we all have of her.
