Pat was not only our friend ,
She was family. Pat spent many family functions and holidays with us, she was known to us and our children as "Aunt Pat".
Pat was fun to travel with and spend time together.
She was always happy and outgoing. Pat was hard working and was loved by everyone. May her life be an example to each of us to
Work hard, be kind and love each other fully.

I can't believe Pats gone. We worked in labor and delivery n socialized together for at least 20 yrs.
In all the years I worked with Pat I can't remember every being annoyed with her ..I knew she always did her best for the patients and went above and beyond to help if needed.
Even on hectic days she had a smile.
She also loved to have fun n plan outside work activities.
I don't know if I ever told her that I admired her because her early life wasn't easy but she never let that stand in the way of creating a life she enjoyed.
I'm so sad we lost touch.

I have such fond memories of Patricia and all of us cousins getting together as children, when my mom was sick, she was right there to spend time with her aunt and help me take care of her. Such a giving and living person.

I was a brand new labor and delivery nurse when I met Pat. She was always warm and friendly and had a smile for me. She also made sure that I knew the little things that would keep me out of "trouble ". Once I got to get to know her, we realized how much we had in common. We grew up in the same area and Pat knew my family. Pat was there when my first child was born (she knew how hard our fertility struggles were) and knowing she was there made me feel safe and happy. I really loved Pat. She put out positive energy and you knew she loved you from the start!!! Miss you already but I know you´re in a place of happiness!!!

Pat was a joy to work with. She had a smile for everyone. Several years we were the Reps for our unit's yearly Christmas family. It was fun shopping with her for the family members & delivering the groceries & gifts to the families. She was always generous. Love you, Pat
