Pat will be remembered for her kind heart, strong work ethic, and the love she shared so freely with those around her.

In her free time, Pat enjoyed sewing and working in her yard, always keeping herself busy with projects that reflected her hardworking personality. Whether tending to her flowers, helping someone in need, or spending time with family, she was happiest when surrounded by the people she loved.

Above all else, Pat cherished her family. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend who treasured every moment spent with her children and grandchildren. Her grandchildren brought her endless pride and happiness, and she loved creating memories with them that will be held close for years to come. Pat’s loving presence, welcoming smile, and caring heart will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

In keeping with Pat’s wishes, she will be laid to rest next to her husband at Silverbrook Cemetery.
