She was a wonderful Aunt. I am honored to be her namesake. Mom and she were close sisters (step maybe but they were still close). I will always remember her saving me from the “Mean” Uncle Jerry. He used to tease me and tell me he was going to keep me when mom and dad were bundling us up to go home from Grandma’s. Aunt Pat would rescue me and tell Uncle Jerry to quit. They were all loving and will be greatly missed.
She was a hero to so many of her family members. She loved her children and grandchildren, they were her world. She loved her nieces and nephews. She had a heart of gold. I will always cherish out times we spent together. Fly with the Angels Aunt Pat.
So sorry was my maid of honor went to many dance clubs such fun will miss her sincerely olga
Pat was so fun.
Her dry sense of humor would always have the group of gals laughing.
In all of are 20 & 30 we had so much fun. Rhonda left us to soon but now she has pat to share heavens glory with.

My dear sweet cousin. You were one of the sweetest people I know. Always happy to see everyone. Such a fun person. I loved you dearly. So many amazing memories. Everyone will miss you so much. I’ll meet you at Pizza Hut in the sky!!! Forever in my heart!
I will always love Aunt Pat. She had such a tender heart. And a rough vocabulary! She was great! When all the “moms” were telling stories & jokes around the table, the younger children were told to go play. Aunt Pat would look at me & say, “ oh that’s Shelly. She’s ok.” I heard some funny stuff! I can hear her now, “I love yous kids.”
I love you to the moon, Aunt Pat. Go over there, you’ll see❤️
