Pat and I went to grade school, junior high and high school together. She was warm and funny, and very accomplished, as reflected in her lifetime achievements. She loved the game of golf, and Ed and I were saddened that we never had the chance to bring her to Pinehurst so that she could show her skills here. We so enjoyed seeing her at the high school reunions; she will truly be missed. We extend our deepest sympathy to her family

"Powercat Pat" that's her nickname as she was Niagara Falls High Schools #1 girls basketball team fan/supporter from 1994-1996. She was more than my principal, she was/is a friend, mentor, motivator, supporter, and leader. Pat you will truly be missed by me but never forgotten. Her support and understanding through my high school years kept me encouraged. I miss you.

Patti and I were classmates at LaSalle Sr. graduating together in 1965. She was also one of the first "loves of my life". She was a kind caring and wonderful friend. I am sorry for your loss. Respectfully, Jerry Schuler

Pat was a longtime patient at our office, BAKER OPTICAL, in Niagara Falls. We will miss her warm smile and and her always pleasant personality.
I will never forget the big smile Pat gave me when I asked her if she would like to come with my wife, Kay, and I to go to the Erie Basin Marina one night to watch a sunset. She said she had never been there and would absolutely love to do that if she was feeling well that day. Sadly, when we did not receive a response to our phone messages, we did not get a chance to see that sunset and then we heard the news about her passing. We will miss her.
Sincerely,
David & Kay
Baker Optical

Have known Pat as a dear friend for the past 58 years beginning in Sunday School at Riverside, through-out elementary and High School graduation and at our class reunions. She remains a wonderful lady, great friend and is missed. Our reunions will not be the same without her help in organizing, planning and especially her presence.
