Pat loved caring for and helping other people, as she made a positive difference in the lives of those that surrounded her. Pat spent 15 years as a nursing assistant at Bethany St. Joseph. What she loved most about her job was being able to care for people and the friendships she made. Pat lived a life of faith, generosity, and love.
