She enjoyed every minute with them and was so proud of them. She loved her home and her cabin at Mid-Forest Lodge where many family memories were made. It was her special place. She was a huge animal lover and always had a cat or a dog in the house. Pat would look forward to time spent with her sister, Janie, on Sanibel Island. They would shop until they dropped daily then enjoy the sun and the pool. She also was fond of Olivia Newton-John movies and music, rides in the woods looking for wildlife, pickleball, fitness, reading, Coke Slurpee’s and attending the boys sporting events.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Pat’s healthcare team at Heartland Hospice, specifically nurse Holly, Andrea and Jennifer.
