Pat was a Police Dispatcher... During my first years in law enforcement I learned that for me that voice on the radio was my best friend and my major source for receiving help when I needed it. This fine Lady served us long and well. I have been retired ten years and I miss her and all the rest of them with whom I had radio, telephone and personal contact during my 40 years of service. As far as I am concerned they were our Angels of Mercy and Care who checked on us, helped us get the info and assistance that we needed and I am glad that Pat was one of the many with whom I served. My condolences and my prayers go out for her family and all the rest of us she served all of those years. I thank God for Pat and all Comm Center Dispatchers.
Family, I am praying for God's Grace, Peace and Comfort for you and all who knew Her!
