I am saddened to hear this. Patty was indeed a breath of fresh air in the RBC world. It was my pleasure to be part of her team with Kathy in my years before my retirement. Although I didn't meet you Peter I know she was your best friend as my Norma was to me. It's been nine months since my bride went on to her eternal reward. I wish you well in your journey of learning to cope in this new reality where you now live.

I too knew Patty at Malvern 1957-62. She had such a zest for life then, and from many comments I've read, it continued to the end. My condolences to her family.

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Patty and I spent many happy times together during our highschool years at Malvern C. I. We often went for long walks and talks on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon along the boardwalk and then to the Goof ! We joined Fallingbrook Presbyterian Church together in grade eleven. We had a fantastic Bahamian adventure in March 63 when we visited my sister Nan at the home of her friend Gloria Frey where she lived in Nassau.It was grand seeing Patty again more recently at the high school reunions, She maintained a joy of living and certainly will be missed by all who knew her! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Dorothy Scrimgeour Hickey.

I met Patty in 1956 at age 12 when I began High School at Malvern C.I. She was a very decent, honest person and always had a contagious smile. I have many fond memories of Patty. She will be missed by all those that knew her.

Our memories of Patty span the years to school days. She and Dorothy were friends since before their time at Malvern C.I. where we all attended. When we saw her at the 2013 MCI Reunion she looked grand. We are both saddened to know of her passing. Her photograph reflects her unchanging smile and bespeaks her joy of life. We send condolences to her loved ones.

Dear Peter, Family and Friends...
While Patty was small in stature she had a big personality, a big heart and a big laugh. She was a real fashionista who loved to shop! She always looked like a million bucks whether in Holts or Joe Fresh attire. We had many fun times together at RBC and she was an integral part of the team and a dedicated executive assistant to me. She befriended everyone with ease and loved to socialize. We had some great parties and celebrations including her own retirement party. have many wonderful memories that will keep her close to my heart for ever. My sincerest condolences for your immense loss. Peter, I know how deeply she loved and adored you.
