Patricia Eline

Pat was such a Blessing to know, and also Blessing to many people that she met in her life and career.

Strength, Grace and a Life well lived.

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Pat indeed made a big impression on me. I remember my interview with the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) back in Sept 2005. My parents waited for me in the car while I had my interview. When my interview was over (and to my surprise), my parents were inside the lobby waiting for me. Pat at the time was the front desk receptionist and said she saw my parents in the car and took it upon herself to have them wait inside the air-conditioned office vs. the hot air in the car. That simple act of kindness was the beginning of a beautifully wonderful friendship that developed. When she announced she was leaving the AAA to venture out in her trailer, I was heartbroken as I knew I would be missing my dearest friend. But I was also so proud of her for having the determination to do what she wanted to do on her own terms. If anyone had the gumption and willpower to do so, Pat exemplified that...and then some. I will remember Pat for her incredible compassion to help the consumers of the AAA, her lively stories of growing up, her sweet love story of Bill, or her country sayings/slangs that I never heard of before. But above all, I will forever miss my "diamond in the ruff" ... underneath her exterior, she shined the brightest and always gave her all. Rest in peace my dear friend.

So sorry for your loss, she will surly be missed. I will be keeping everyone in my prayers.

Love,

I´ll always remember you as a wonderful friend and coworker at the AAA; even more now, since you passed away on my birthday. Being the detailed person that you are, I know you´re helping up in heaven getting things organized. May you rest in peace in the arms of our Lord!

Pat knew that I was a collector of post cards and I have quite a few that she sent to me while she was "on the road again"! Bill said that when she went trucking with him she read her book and drank her water. Then that required a stop and it interfered with his schedule! Before she returned home, I went with her to purchase a stone and she was very precise as to what she wanted on that stone. Everything on that stone has a meaning! My birthday is on the 3rd of August and so we enjoyed that connection! I'll miss her messages and calls but I know she is with her Bill and all my family! Rest in peace my friend!
