Personally, in her career and later in her church, Pat was known as a champion for the underdog, for equal rights and for inclusivity. She worked hard and was a model of kindness, optimism, strength and perseverance. She kept in touch with her many friends as best she could. It was a source of pure joy! Pat loved to travel anywhere, but especially to visit friends and family. She cherished her special beach vacations with her teaching friends, and the European trips she took with Quinn. Always enjoying visits from her children and grandchildren, Pat loved attending their ballgames, competitions and concerts and always kept track of their many accomplishments. She also loved her furry friends, including many dogs and most recently her special “Kitty”.
