Patricia, or “Pat” as her family and friends knew her, was a longtime resident of St. Mary’s where she made many friends. Pat’s friends were always up to something, cooking for someone, visiting those that needed some love and friendship, and often, volunteering for some activity in the St. Mary’s area. Pat enjoyed gardening, crafting, and spending time with her family. Pat’s love of flowers and the outdoors was clearly evident both in and around her home. She was always willing to share plants and flowers with whomever she could. She always said that pretty flowers could bring life to any place. Pat’s love of her family drove her to be loving, humorous, and proud. She loved talking about her granddaughter Katie and how proud she was of her accomplishments. Pat loved to call and talk to her great granddaughters who called her “Ganny Ma.” She was always so proud of her family and would brag to anyone who would listen. Pat was loved by many, a friend to many, and will be missed by many.
