PATRICIA JOAN HURLBURT

Condolences & Memories (5 entries)

• I was so sorry to hear of Pat‘s passing this past week. We lost touch around 10 years ago, about the time my husband was seriously ill. I have so many memories of growing up with Pat and attending both Issac Brock and Daniel McIntyre schools together. I recall our frequent skip days in high school in order to spend an extra day at her precious cottage at Victoria Beach. We never seemed to get into trouble for missing school because we we were always honest with our reason for skipping class, and I guess it helped that we got our work done. I remember Pat’s old Studebaker car that used to stall out at every few intersections because of the missing teeth on the fly wheel. We had a pretty good system of jumping out of the vehicle popping the hood and pulling on the fan belt to turn the fly will to a point where the engine would engage again. This made for many laughs. I also remember sharing many lovely family dinners in the Hurlburt home. One very funny memory I’ll never forget is when Pat's mom wanted her to clean up the dishes after a meal and Pat kept telling her that she didn’t have time because she had ‘intercourse’ that night. Her mother looked shocked and and after repeating this excuse again, I can recall Pat turning very red having now realized what she had said to her mother. She meant to say she had a university “intersession course” to get to, lol. This summer we spent together at Longbow Lake was also very memorable for many reasons. Despite the hard work and the struggles, and the tragedy that surrounded us, we made the very best of a difficult situation. I will cherish these and many other memories we shared together. Sending love to all of you. Sharon 💜 - Posted by: Sharon Gurney (Friend) on: Jul 08, 2019

• Having been only 4 years older than Pat (Patsy), I remember lots of times with fun times with the Hurlburt family. (That crabapple tree was a treat!). In this very sad time, I am sending warm hugs over the miles to the family. Sincerely, an old neighborhood friend on Clifton Street, Betasha L. Sawry - Posted by: Betasha L.

• I am sending sincere sympathies to Alan, Bob, and Kim from an old friend and neighbour from Clifton Street. Glad that you met my sister Linda and brother Richard at the memorial for Mr. Taylor...another neighbour. We all could share hours of memories from our fun times with our pals. What a great and fun group we had in those days of our childhood. She was the wee little redhead with energy!! Hugs to all! Pat - Posted by: Pat (Sawry) Soucie (Clifton Street friend) on: Jul 12, 2016
