Pat was one of the most creative people I've ever met. Taking a class in her home with only a few of us she managed to teach us & still have fun. What a marvelous contribution she made to Hutchinson, in fact to all of Kansas. My thoughts & prayers go out to her children & their families. She was so proud of you.

The world will be a little less cheerful without Pat. She was a very talented artist who left her mark on Hutchinson, as well as a loving and caring mother and devout Catholic. May she rest in Peace in God's love.
