So sorry for your loss. Pat was such wonderful active girl in school. She was always so enthusiastic when it came to activities.

Pat was a good friend in high school and always up for an adventure. I will never forget the year she was driving the family station wagon on Halloween (or close to it) We drove out on M 43 and “liberated” a bunch of pumpkins from a farm wagon parked next to the road, filling the back of the car. Then we drove back into Kalamazoo and released the pumpkins at the top of Westnedge Hill, feeling we were quite the pranksters. I’ll never forget the side of all those pumpkins rolling down the hill towards oncoming cars. It didn’t make the paper, so pretty sure we didn’t cause any accidents, though!
I lost touch with Pat after high school, but will always have fond memories of our good times together. I will especially remember that impish smile and throaty laugh.

A bunch electricians, their wife’s and family’s used to go camping with each other every year. We also did yearly Christmas parties for 20 years. We had such a good time. We’re very saddened to hear of Pats passing. She was a beautiful lady. She will be missed. We send our love to Tori and Ty, and the grandchildren.
Love you, ❤️

I have many fond memories of Pat and our friendship which began at O'Brien High School. When Pat was 19 she and I decided to go to Hawaii for this summer. Quite an adventure for two girls who had done minimal traveling. At the very beginning of our trip Pat couldn't find the money she had for traveling. Pat had bought an iron to take to Hawaii. She eventually found the money in the box with the iron. She had forgotten that earlier she had determined that was the perfect safe hiding spot.
Another memory of that time was Pat's willingness to share. It seemed she always had Braunschweiger, Velveeta cheese, saltines, and Coca-Cola. At that time those were the four main food groups as far as we were concerned.
In recent years I have always enjoyed my conversations with Pat. It was obvious of her love and pride in her children and grandchildren. Those were the areas around which our conversations revolved. She would share their activities and accomplishments. I will certainly miss those conversations.
