Read MorePat was a joy to know. I met her when I joined the Golden Girls at Summer Mummers. She had been dancing with them for some time. We spent many years dancing together at Summer Mummers and had many good times. She was always laughing and just being a friend to all. My sympathy to her family.

Pat was a lovely person who succeeded in many things. As a fellow librarian and sorority sister, I always looked to Pat for guidance and fellowship. She was a unique individual!

Pat was a great friend who cared greatly about children learning to read and have the opportunity to learn. She was always ready to open her home to her Sunday School class and help others. She will be greatly missed.
