I remember Pat and Bill from when I was a little girl and they would come over and play cards with my parents. There would always be lots of laughter coming from the kitchen table. My mom always talked highly of Pat even though they had lost touch throughout the years. I was able to reach out to Pat shortly after my Dad passed away. We talked on the phone and had a nice visit. She was still the same kind, down to earth person that I remembered. Sorry for your loss. My condolences to the family. Sue Hrabliuk - Posted by: Susan Hrabliuk (Friend) on: Apr 18, 2022

I met Pat many years ago when I became involved with Women Business Owners at that time. Our friendship was shared through many years as we were both involved with the Women's Advisory Council. We gained a lot of knowledge during those years. We also worked on the Women of Distinction Committees. We shared many laughs throughout the friendship; Pat had a very generous spirit and was always willing to help women who had started a business. These women became her lifelong friends throughout the years. I will miss her. Rest in peace Pat. - Posted by: Magie Nishimura (Friend ) on: Mar 19, 2022
