“Pat,” as she was affectionately called by family and friends, was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend.  She spent most of her days listening to old school music; however, her favorite past time was completing crossword puzzles, oh how she loved the thrill of completion!  Her other favorite thing to do was facetiming her grandchildren; her face would light up and beam with excitement just to see them and hear their voices.  She will be missed by all who loved and knew her.
