Memories of Patricia and words of comfort for her family may be shared at www.meyersfuneralchapel.com
I’m thankful to have gotten to know Pat the last few years. She was always so kind to me and made me feel that she was very interested in whatever I had to say. I loved the fact that she had a crush on Jeff Probst. I will miss her.
So sorry, all. Though we only knew her for a short while, she was like family to us. We were so excited to see her (and Scott and Cilla) around Christmas. She seemed in great spirits, though we knew she was well-prepared to step into the presence of the Lord.
She will be sorely missed, but we take comfort in the fact that she is Home with Christian family and friends who preceded her and are near to Jesus.
We look forward to celebrating her physical life and her eternal life. Hallelujah!
Love and hugs. Pat was a lovely woman and we were lucky to know her.
So very sorry for your loss. She will be missed.
We are so sorry for your family’s loss. Aunt Pat and Uncle Bob were two of the most genuine and considerate people one could ever know. They were clearly kindred spirits, very much in love and dedicated to each other for so many years. It was a true pleasure to see. Even after Uncle Bob’s early passing, we were so happy to see Aunt Pat live a long and rich life. We hope that both are united once again in the lasting peace of God’s loving embrace.
We never had the pleasure of meeting your mother Judy but felt we knew her through you. May her memory be a blessing
So sorry for the loss of your mom. Moms are our very special friends. You are in my thoughts
She must have been a wonderful mother to raise a son like Chris. I know everyone who knew her will feel her loss but she is with those she has lost! Praying for the family.
We are so sorry to hear of this loss. We are wishing you peaceful reflections on lives lived in joy and family/ community connections.
Aunt Pat was one of a kind and I loved spending time with her. She was a great sister to my mom Eileen. She will be missed.
