During these years she was active with, among other things, Air Cadets, traveling, outings with friends, Tai Chi, scuba diving, and gardening.
Pat – your kind, outgoing and cheerful personality will be missed by all.

Those we love don’t go away
They walk beside us every day
Unseen, unheard, but always near
So loved, so missed, so very dear.

Pat was a dear friend. I treasure the time we spent together working on photo projects, sharing travel stories and hiking. Pat was a great listener and always willing to spend time helping others. She was very expressive, had a wonderful smile and a ready laugh. I always felt relaxed with Pat; she was like one of our family. I will miss her. I am grateful to have known her.
