Read MoreI am so sorry that the Colenback/Riley family has lost such a beautiful, bright person. Although I did not know her as well as my brothers, I have such fond memories of time with her and Don. The love and light she emanated must have touched many lives.

My deepest love to all of Pat's family - especially Richard, Amy, John, and Jared, and their children. I loved Pat Colenback, who was a mentor and a friend for over 50 years. Intellectually curious, a diehard feminist, and yet a champion of traditional women's roles of homemaking, birthing, parenting, Pat might be caught cooking with one hand on the bread dough and another holding a book on feminist spirituality.

I lived with Don and Pat for a few months in 1970 in their basement while Don was teaching at ETS in Cambridge. I only have fond memories of intense discussions about life with Pat. She was such a welcoming and inquisitive person willing to talk about anything.
We'll miss you Pat!
In loving Remembrance,
