When I think of Pat, she is always smiling! When she would come to Munich for a visit, she would cross the street from Rallan & Eileen’s house to visit Mom.
Good memories of Pat when we chatted @ St. Anthony’s Parish, usually @ the Saturday 5pm mass. She was a quiet, intelligent lady. God Bless 🙏🏼

Pat was a caring and lovely lady. May she be at peace in eternal glory. May her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.
Pat was quite a person. She loved to dance and always had a joke for me. Keep on dancin’ Pat.

Pat was my cousin and I grew up in Munich when she lived at the farm. I loved visiting her there because she was always great at entertaining us. We especially loved the pony cart rides and the large playhouse. After we grew up we didn’t see each other often but she and my sister Carol kept in contact. Pat was a very nice cousin, may she rest in peace with the angels.
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Pat. We always enjoyed her stories and experiencing her love of music and dancing. She was a special lady.

I will never forget. The love, compassion, and friendship, Pat gave to my mom. Even when Pat wasn’t feeling well. She was still there for my mom. Always thinking of others. Before herself. The World isn’t going to be the same without her. But heaven gained a good one. Im sure she will be dancing up there. Spreading her joy and love. My deepest sympathies go to her family and friends. Say hi to mom for me, Pat.
You’ll be missed Pat! You were such a wonderful friend to my late Aunt Marion. We all enjoyed our time together at Big Cormorant Lake. You certainly became a bonus Auntie in our family!
Now I’ve gotta find your letter about you and Marion making dinner for Doc Severinsen it was written with your incredible wit.
You’ll be missed!
Love, Rick
