I am so sorry to hear about the death of this delightful lady. She and I worked together at the City of Sapulpa water department many years ago, in the same room together, and she made my work days much more pleasurable with her wit and charm. I was always glad to see Pat and Karl around town in later days and had just mentioned to Wayne that we hadn't seen them lately. God bless all of her family, I know she will be greatly missed.

Pat was a wonderful lady. I will be forever grateful for the way she treated both Kaley and me. We were always made to feel that we were welcome and that she was glad we were there. She made everything FUN.
She will be missed by everyone who knew her

I have so many wonderful memories of Aunt Pat. As a child, her home was always open when I needed a place to go. Her haircuts and Othello game playing were always a highlight. I always loved going to visit at her house with Pat & Karl. She always made you feel wanted and loved. I will miss her sweet fun way with others. She will be greatly missed. Sending my hugs and prayers to all back home.

Aunt Pat was very special to my Grandfather, her oldest Brother, John Wallace Dobson (Dobby). She always called my Father, Fred, on his birthday every year. She was the last Dobson of her generation and will be missed. Our deepest Condolences.
