So many wonderful memories of Aunt Pat from my childhood growing up next door on Lavergne. She loved all of us neighborhood kids like her own. She would get after us like her own too! She had a heart of gold and a personality that I adored. She taught me how to tell time sitting at your kitchen table. Reading a digital clock would not work in her book. I remember juke box dance parties, bon fires, swimming and her hollering across the yard at us when we were getting into trouble (or trying to anyway). I am truly sorry for your loss. She was an amazing woman! Sending my deepest condolences to you all! Love, Shelly Wood

Kathy and family, your mom will be greatly missed . Carry on her hilarious personality of wearing pjs and stopping by someone's house for coffee at your house at the most hilarious times! What an amazing woman !! She'll always be in my heart and my thoughts!! All our love , Jo and Chef

Patty, Aunt Pat, was one of a kind and truly a great person. She was tough as nails but had a big beautiful soft heart. She also had a great big bold laugh to match. We were super lucky when Patty agreed to take care of both of our children, Charlie and Clodagh while my wife and I worked. She loved and cared for those kids like they were her own.

I cannot put to words how much Patty meant to us. Young parents worry so much about their children but when they were in the care of Patty we all felt well taken care of.

My sincere condolences to Patty and her family.

Your mom was always a wonderful neighbor. I remember the many days I spent playing at your house, swimming in your pool, or having a sleepover, and the whole time your mom was there to lend a hand, and often join in the fun! She will be dearly missed.
