She made many co- workers her friends over the years and had many entertaining stories to tell of a career that spanned more than three decades.

Pat would say her largest sense of joy, pride and accomplishment were her children and grandchildren. Pat was involved in their lives each and every day. Her home became a testament to their love of her, filled with mementos, cards, pictures, school art projects and many gifts made with little hands. She treasured every single item that was given to her.
