Patricia Benton

We continue with the very fond memories of Pat, particularly the pleasant interactions when she frequently passed by the house, either departing on a walk or arriving home from one, .....She and her husband Dan would also regularly attend our annual Christmas parties, and it was exceptionally enjoyable to converse with her on all those occasions, including festive assemblies at the residence of other nearby neighbors..... We will always remember and miss Pat as a good friend and neighbor.

Pat and I were room-mates our freshman year of college...we had a shared love of food! Sometimes in the afternoon we'd share a package of Hostess snowballs from the dorm's vending machine. Today I'm having memories of Pat as I make her "Aunt Mabel's 5 Hour Beef Stew"..

Gonna miss the talks, Pat. I share my life with a cat who talks a lot but doesn't listen. So I'd walk across the street for a short visit with Dan and Pat.

I had the pleasure of hiking with Dan and Pat up to the top of Mt. Whitney and across Desolation Wilderness just west of Lake Tahoe. Even...

Pat was an instant friend and brought much Joy and love to our whole family! Aloha Kakou Pat!

Suzanne and I met Pat as new neighbors in 2012, upon our arrival to the neighborhood. We actually met her and her husband Dan at another neighbor's Christmas welcoming party and immediately hit it off, thereby commencing a great neighborly and friendly relationship since that time. Pat and Dan always attended our own subsequent neighborhood Christmas parties, along with other social occasions as well, and she was always a delight to interact with. We always considered Pat to be very...

Pat and I met when she was a young woman in college. We became acquainted again in later years, and we loved meeting her and Dan in Santa Fe for a day of walking and visiting. Pat was a genuine person and always fun to be around. My heart is saddened by her loss.
