Pat was the loving sister of Lawrence (Rose) Panek and was preceded in death by her dear siblings, Helen (late John) Pirog and John (late Dorothea) Kaluzny.

Pat would always say to me, "I can't believe we've been friends since kindergarten". As friends, along with Phyllis, we celebrated birthdays, holidays and vacations together, shopping, dining, gambling, etc. Pat loved taking pictures, and she left us with lots of good time memories.
Rest in peace, my friend.

Pat and I have been neighbors for ten years. My companion for nine of these years was Sister Ellie, who knew Pat even longer. We always referred to her as "Our Pat across the hall'. Both Sister Ellie and I send our prayers and sympathy to her good friends and family. In our conversations it was clear she loved you all.
We knew Pat liked sweets, so we often shared when we had some, candy, cake, desserts. She always tried to give us something in return. Pat loved to decorate the entrance to her apartment and the main door to our building as well. She was courageous, using her walker and crossing William Street in heavy traffic. She was undaunted in pursuing whatever she needed. We will miss her and cherish our memories of her during the many years Pat was a good neighbor to us.
