If there was one person who was to be wittier than I, it was definitely miss Pat. Pat was quick to give hugs, but also put you in your place just as quick if you were having an attitude. Pat gave the best advice on the toughest days, along with the smirky suck it up buttercup. Ill always remember her with lifesavers and Rice Krispie treats. She will be forever missed but we have all gained the coolest guardian angel out there.

Steve,
My heart goes out to you and your family. Pat always had a twinkle in her eye, that expressed her zest for life and perhaps a little mischievousness. What a beautiful and loving person, that lit up a room.

I first met Patty when she worked at the CUA branch at St. Francis Hospital and then continued the friendship at the North Branch CUA. She was always so helpful, so friendly and kind. I am sorry for your loss, you will all be in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about Pat's passing. She was my supervisor at CUA and was the perfect combination of motherly sternness and compassion. I am so thankful Pat was put in my life during the I think I know so much teenage/early 20s - she gave straight to the point, no nonsense life advice but always had a smile on her face while doing it.
My condolences to your family.

Steve and family,
My condolences to you all. I have a lot of great memories of Pat from working with her for 12 years at CUA, giving her a hard time with her love of the Chiefs! Pat had a great sense of humor. Pat was such a great caring person. She will be missed.
And one last time Pat...Go Raiders ;)

I knew Pat because she was the best ever Credit Union of America Teller. Whenever I came in to the CUA, Pat would always acknowledge me, and we would have a few words. What a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul!

I knew Mrs. Hinkle as a very kind, friendly, and efficient teller at Credit Union of America. I would always wait to have her help me. May she Rest In Peace. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends.

Steve and Loving Family, The world is a better place because Pat was in it. Her sense of humor and compassion were only a few of her many gifts. Wife, Mom, Grandma, Great-Grandma, humanitarian, friend. Her blessings live on in those of us blessed enough to love her. May the loss we feel speak of the love that is there. We are with you in spirit and love.
