Special thanks go to Extra-Mural and to her home care worker Linda
Davenport who helped keep her comfortable enabling to spend her final
days at home. Also, special thanks to the Emergency Room doctors and
nurses at Upper River Valley Hospital in Waterville and Hotel Dieu
Hospital in Perth Andover.
Patricia was well known in the community for her many years as an
elementary school teacher, having earned her Bachelor of Teaching from
UNB in 1980. She began her teaching career in one-room schools in
Nerepis, Rosine, Kilburn and Moose Mountain before finally settling at
Bath Elementary where she completed nearly 32 years of teaching.
There, she touched the lives of many students and created long lasting
friendships with her colleagues.
In later years, she had more time to volunteer in the community and in
her church. Her pies and bread were favourites at community events and
fundraisers. Additionally, there are few people who have not received
a card of celebration or condolence stuffed with colourful confetti.
These are just a few of the many things that will be dearly missed by
family and friends.
