She will be deeply missed by all who loved her. Pat's love of family was the greatest joy in her life.

I have known Pat since our high school days. She was very popular and always had a smile for everyone. She married my best friend and they enjoyed many years together. They visited us in Fl and they were on their way to play golf. May God bless the family and RIP Pat. Helen & Ray Wood
