My condolences to the family and close friends. I worked with Pat on the 6th floor at Western Electric back in the day. I remember her as a great gal and a good egg ( as my dad would say). I remember going to see her quite often and liked her Dad a lot. Although we haven't connected in many years, recently thinking about her and the days at western unhappily brought me to this site.

Dear Sue, I'm so very sorry to hear of Pat's passing. While I haven't talked with you in many years, I always have fond memories of Pat and your Mom and Dad, especially those crazy IHM years. I will keep you all in my prayers and know that I keep you close to my heart always. Love, Karen (Leonard) Vignola

Dear Sue,
I remember Patty fondly. She was between my two older brothers and I was so jealous you had a big sister and I did not. Remembering you today and often through the years.

I met Pat in 1997 when we were both running for office. We soon became friends. She was fun, upbeat and optimistic even in adversity. My heart sunk the day that she passed. She is surely missed by those who loved her. My condolences go out to her family...may you have peace in this time of grieving...and hope that joy will return to your hearts in due time. My prayers are with you. Rest In Peace, Pat.
