Patricia Kavanaugh

Pat and I went back a lot of years as members of the Eastern Ski Writers Association. While we didn't see eye-to-eye on many issues that didn't stop us from being friends and working to better the organization. During the period that I was president of both the national and local ski associations Pat helped me with the most tedious of issues and assignments. She alwasys the first to volunteer. I'm cetain that when she was president she did not have the anyone to ehlp her as much as she...

The entire Loder family mourns the loss of Pat Turner Kavanaugh, who served her community with great distinction. Pat and Reggie were a big part of our lives growing up, and we will always remember their wedding and the many boat trips that we took on Reggie's boat. May you rest in peace, Pat.

Pat lived to serve the organizations and causes she so deeply loved. Her tireless enthusiasm and tenacious work were unmatched. She was a fighter, to be sure, a fighter to the end. For those who worked side-by-side with Pat, she will be deeply missed.

So so sad to hear the news of Pat. I had just talked to her a couple of weeks ago about the upcoming reunion and she filled me in on her latest trip to Cuba………her next trip as I recall she said was to be Antarctica! What a worldwide traveler and world-class person Pat was!!! She will be missed by sooooo many people! Many happy memories of our school days at Hartridge.

My condolences to the family, Pat will truly be missed by all. Especially the Plainfield League of Women Voters which was an honor to be apart of with Pat, much love Carrell

My condolences to the Kavanaugh family.
Pat had such a radiant personality that she left a permanent impression on anyone who met her.

It was an honor to know Pat and work with her in her role as an Olympic and skiing journalist. She was passionate about her work as a ski writer in the heyday of her profession. She took immense pride in covering our Olympic athletes. Our sport of skiing was fortunate to have crossed paths with Pat.
