Patricia Lucille Benda

I worked with Pat many years at the elementary school - lots of laughter with Pat around! I grew up with what we called mocha cakes - until Pat corrected me - they are Blarney Stones she said. Always looked forward to them! My sympathies to her family, she was a special lady!! John Tibodeau

One of my favorite memories of Pat was when we attended a Wellness Conference in Spencer? or Spirit Lake and we had walked to a Dairy Queen with several other FC teachers/staff. Can't remember what brought on the laughter, but it was one of those hilarious moments and something that made us both laugh/smile many years later...just thinking about that moment and Pat's laugh makes me smile. Pat was a sweet lady, so kind and caring and always full of life. I feel blessed to have known her. ...
