Patricia Ann Rider

My memories of Pat are her love of singing and the sheer JOY she shared with us all. She was so much fun, even when the disease took away more of her, the inner core of Pat was always there. We loved her.

Craig, It is with the most sincerity that I send my condolences to you and your family! Wonderful tribute to Pat. I am sure there was even more to say about her contributions to everything she touched and every person she encountered and embraced. You and she are truly a POWER COUPLE! You changed lives for the better, and I have so much appreciation and respect for all you individually and collectively contributed. I know her last journey through life was fulfilling and how awesome that...

Her smile, wit, and heart of gold. Well said. Pat and the Rider Group were critical to the success of many Leadership Dayton Classes, especially 2002. My sympathy, Craig and family, for this loss.

So sorry to hear of Pat's passing. I have such fond memories of her during our 2001 Leadership Dayton program. What an awesome life. My prayers are with your family during this time of grief.

Craig, what a beautiful tribute to Pat! We've missed both of you here in Dayton! However, Pat's contributions here will be sustained for years to come and especially for women in our community. While all your grief is so hard, I'm sure the many special memories will ease your loss! Craig, we remember you and your family today and hope you will visit "home" soon...when the sun shines and friends can embrace you ! Susie Weaver

RIP Pat! I was honored that you trusted me when I came to visit my father and asked you to sing along with us. Your smile lit the room!
