Having know the Moran twins since grade schoolmates have very fond memories of both. However, since Pat was one of the 8 girls with some form of Patricia in their name in the class of1969I have especially fond memories of Pat because often when a teacher would just call on a Patty for an answer Patty Moran would answer allowing the rest of to breath a sigh of relief. I am not saying Patty Moran was always right but she was always a woman who had a voice. Pat Philbin

Molly and Anne - I was so saddened when I heard of Pat's passing. I worked with your mom for many years and I adored her. I always enjoyed seeing her smiling face in the hallway and having the best conversations. She was one of a kind and will be missed terribly. My condolences to you and your entire family. You will be in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of the death of Patty. Her twin sister, Patty and I were born on the same day and year at St. Joseph Hospital. We connected many years later while I was living in Memphis. Such a fun and loving friend. She is missed.
