Patricia Sawyer Obituary
Patricia worked at the Elmgrove Inn for 20 years with her best friend, Marion. After the restaurant closed, she was employed by the Harris Seed Company. She was known for her maple syrup cake, big hugs, and her colorful crocheted afghans. She always sent a thank you note.

I am so sorry for your loss. I always looked forward to seeing Pat and waving to her when family came to visit. She was always surrounded by family and friends, especially during the coffee session with Nadine and friends.
