She gave her final tour at PEM - to members of...

I served with Patricia on the board of Health Quarters and she was a regular customer at Tastebuds. She profoundly changed my life with her leadership skills and she dedicated her life to helping others. I'm in shock to hear this news. Forever she will be remembered.

Dear Galen & Family, Patricia was one of the first people to offer me counsel and support when I became the Executive Director at HAWC. We collaborated in many ways over the years and I learned so much from her. The North Shore is undoubtedly a better place because of her leadership. As a current member of the Essex County Commission on the Status of Women I am proud to continue the work she was so passionate about. With love, Sara Stanley
