Patricia was one of our favorite residents at delmar gardens.We would bring her communion when she was not up to going to mass.I would talk about the cowboy movies she watched on the television and my wife would talk to her about baking and flowers..She was always nice and polite.We will miss her.

Pat was one of my college roommates, and we were from then on lifelong friends. I think our total differences strengthened our friendship. I grew up on a farm in Northern Missouri, the granddaughter of German Immigrants, on my father’s side, and most of my mother’s roots were German via Ohio. Pat grew up on The Hill in St. Louis, with 4 grandparents from Sicily. Since St. Louis was a ‘bit of a hike’ from our college in Warrensburg, Missouri, she would go home with me on some weekends and enjoyed seeing how I grew up. I was able, after graduation, to visit her home once in St. Louis and enjoy wonderful Italian cooking. She and Floyd visited us once in Germany and also here in central Missouri. Since my husband and I both had family to visit in Ohio, we would also visit Pat and Floyd while there. Lots of good memories of a good friend.
