PATRICIA O. "PAT", on Sept. 19, 2005, beloved daughter of John and Esther (Bunny), loving sister to Paul, Jim, Mark, and a dear Aunt. Pat was a life-long learner, having recently earned her Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. In her most recent position, Pat served as a Human Resources Development Consultant and was an active member of the Greater Valley Forge HR Association. Pat was also a devoted member of Christ Memorial Lutheran Church in Malvern where she was a member of the choir. She served in numerous community projects, including Literacy Volunteers of America and the Orphan Grain Train. Pat enjoyed many different outside interests including traveling, cycling, running, and cross-country skiing. Having a special appreciation of nature, she could often be found engaging in many of these activities at Valley Forge National Park. Additionally, she was a choir member with The Wayne Oratorio Society. Pat will be sorely missed by family and friends.
Friends are invited to a Memorial Service at Christ Memorial Lutheran Church in Malvern on Thursday at 7 P.M.

I was saddened to learn of Pat's passing. As I reflect back, I am struck by how precious few there are remaining in the Christ Memorial family that date back to the 1960's.



I will always remember my final contact with her at the golf outing last June. My deepest sympathies and condolences.
