So sorry to hear about Pat passing away! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I helped with water safety training with her scout troop for a few years and found her dedication to scouts amazing.

I am so sorry for your loss. Pat was so patient and devoted many years to our daughters in girls scouts. I also remember seeing her at Minnie’s Restaurant for many years and would wave to her as she would go hurrying by doing what needed to be done. She was a quiet lady who has now gone to her heavenly home and who touched a lot of lives here on earth. ✝️

I’m so sorry for your loss. Pat and I became friends at church. We always searched each other out for a hug and talk before church. She shared that she always felt better when the sun was shining. I will miss her friendship. Praying that our Lord will guide Pat’s family through their grief.

Dear family of Pat,
I don’t know you all but did get to know Pat somewhat in the past years that she would faithfully contribute little items for the enjoyment of the residents at Allegan Medical Care Community. It was truly amazing to see what she would come through the door with, only seeking to provide some joy to people she knew could use it! I pray you find comfort in knowing that she affected other people positively even in her later years, when her health was failing.
God grant you all peace with her passing.
Sincerely, Elaine Cochran, retired from Allegan County Medical Care Community
