She was a familiar face at the Elks Lodge, accompanying her husband for many years and building warm friendships within the community. Known everywhere for her sweet and gentle nature and her warm smile, Pat never had a harsh word for anyone. She was always happy, warm, humorous, and unfailingly in good spirits. Those who loved her, she was truly the kindest person they had ever known. Pat's love, laughter, and generous spirit will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who were fortunate enough to know her.
