Heroes should never die...
Pat was the family Guardian Angel. My sister was a special person from the day she was born.
Pat always found the good in people and never pre-judged anyone. She loved our family with a passion and simply loved our family get togethers.
I miss my sister with such a passion that words can't describe the tremendous emptiness I have in my heart and soul. She will always live in my heart.
We should all rejoice that Pat touched so many lives in a positive way. Each person Pat ever met should feel priviledged to have known her. Pat you made me a better person.
Love Ed and Berdie Nally

Our only sister Patricia will always be with me and my brothers and our wives and children. She was with us in every game we played as kids and later became our guiding light when our spirits we down. What happened at the church service was a tribute to how she touched so many others and I know she will still be overseeing "the boys" as we go on.

My memories of Pat are of a pleasant, soft-spoken woman, who always looked you in the eyes and was ever so attentive to what you had to say. She was a great listener - and truly interested in what was going on in all the "branches" of her family. She obviously had a positive impact on the people that she met and we were blessed to have known her as we did. Colleen Nally Mooney, Rockville Centre, New York

We are so sorry about Pat. She was always so sweet & kind to all of us through the years. Whenever we got together for "our cousins parties" she seemed to enjoy talking about all of our family stories from the past.
She was a wonderful person & a great cousin.
Her memory will be with us forever

I got the sad news while I was in Portland, Oregon. I just could not believe it. I have known Pat for almost 25 years and she was so good to me and others. I will miss her a lot.
She always took care of us here and I hope God takes care of her there. May she rest in Peace.

Pat will be deeply missed by our family. She was always kind and gentle, with a sense of humor. I will always be grateful for the kindness, interest, and love that she showed my parents(her aunt and uncle), during their lifetimes. They looked forward to hearing from her. It is not surprising that she made such an impression on her community, as she made that same impression on her family.

I didn't know Pat well - so clearly my loss from what others have written. We were taking a dog training class together, and I found her lovely. Besides being missed by so many people, I'm sure her dog Emily misses her terribly too.

I was a student and student worker at IC Business School over 10 years ago. Pat was one of the best bosses I have ever had. We kept in touch over the years, I will miss our lunches and her supportive, kind spirit.
My thoughts go out to anyone who was Blessed by knowing her.

I had many encounters with so many people during my time as a student in the B-School, but Pat was someone who always stuck out in my mind. She was so kind, warm, & thoughtful. Talking with Pat was always refreshing, which is why I'm one of many former students that will never forget her. She will be missed!

The world has lost a wonderful person. I really enjoyed the verbal jousts we had while conducting Church business or while going on our occasional wine tours. Your friends and family will surely miss you.

Now retired, I worked with Pat for many years at IC. Pat had all the qualities one would want in a colleague. She was considerate, helpful, caring, smart and industrious. My wife, Janine, and I would see her occasionally in town and at IC functions and we both have fond memmories of the time we spent with her. She will be sorely missed by everyone.

I have always thought of Pat as a faithful woman of God who knew how to serve, yet felt more comfortable not being noticed and acknowledged for the many kindnesses she did. She will be greatly missed.

Pat, I will miss so much the many times you came to my office and we prayed together about so many things. You were such a powerful prayer partner for me and an inspiration. God had a wonderful servant in you. I will never forget you, Pat. I know my life has been enriched by knowing you.

Ithaca College has lost a very dedicated and wonderful staff member with the passing of Pat. I'll never forget all the help and support she's given me over the years in the School of Business. Pat always put students, faculty and others first. Always willing to help and be of service, Pat was a constant reminder of what a life of service is all about.
I'll miss you, Pat. Your inspiration and spirit will, however, live on in all of our hearts.

I have the fondest of memories of the very warm and friendly greetings I encountered when I would come in contact with Pat. It may have been when I stopped by to service a printer several years ago in her office or to chat briefly while waiting to speak with Dean Rowland. No matter when we would meet at work or around town, my thoughts were always "What a very nice person she is".
Rest in Peace Pat
