Patricia Smith

Pat was a great mentor to me, through my days as a student at Aquinas college, and helped me stay on course as I chose a career. She was a cheerleader but not afraid to give tough love when it was warranted. I still called on her when I needed guidance or just a listening ear. As a career director, Pat knew her stuff and could make resumes and employability portfolios come to life. I was honored to gain all the wisdom she imparted in my life. She will be deeply missed.

Dear Smith Family, I am sorry to hear of the passing of your mother and grandmother. Pat Smith helped me get an internship which launched me into my career. She helped hundreds of students with her direction at Aquinas College. She was the example professionalism and my mentor. She changed my life and I am so thankful for her. May God Bless all of you.

Pat gave generously of her time to others as in my memory at Aquinas College. She´s went out of her way to help me when I was on crutches and needed help. Now beautiful tributes attest to her continuing kindness to many.

My condolences to the Smith children, and Grand Children I knew your mom from the years that we spent at St.Frances Xavier, I was her assistant in the Religious program. Your mom was a beautiful person truly committed to her husband and children, and her faith. I also during those years babysit for your mom and dad a couple of times. May God give you strength and love now and forever, But rest assured she´s in a better with your dad and her other relatives.. Judy Kurylowicz

Pat was such an inspiration to me as a young mother. Your family was so good to me in when times were rough, and you and Ricki, and the boys became childhood friends. I´m sorry your mom had to go through this horrendous disease.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
