I am very saddened to hear of Pat's passing. Pat was an amazing woman of faith. And I was blessed to have served on various callings with her over the years at Saint Andrew's. My son Alex would always be happy to see Miss Pat on Sunday mornings, who would greet him with a big hug and smile.
Pat was very proud of her own son Alex and his family. To them I offer my prayers for peace.

I just found out that Pat passed away today.
She was such an encouragement to me as a believer. She was such a wonderful kind person and appreciate all her kindness and prayers.
So sorry to hear of your loss. I know her through St Andrews Church.

Learned of Pat's passing today and am so saddened. Originally met her as a soccer mom to Alex and Devin and was so supportive of them. After those years we would run into each other occasionally in the neighborhood and catch up on all the current events. Losing Devin at years ago was extremely difficult, I am sure but her strength and faith go her through it. I really admired her and will say a special day tomorrow on Mother's Day. Rest in peace!

Dear Alex and Molly,
Please accept my sincere condolences for dear Pat's passing. I loved Pat as a friend, co-worker and fellow mom. As a mom and grandmother, her heart was always filled with pride as she smiled and shared happy stories and pictures. I sought her advice and looked to her as a role model when my own children were growing up. As a co-worker, she was a person to count on to always do the right thing and help anyone and everyone. In dialysis, she loved her patients and treated them with great respect. As a friend, she always encouraged me and shared her deep faith in God and frankly I never stopped being inspired by her. Many people come and go in a person's life, but Pat will be a gentle soul who I will never forget. I hope it helps you in your grief to know that Pat was loved by many and made a true and daily difference in the lives of others.

Please know how much Pat was loved at work. I am a procedure nurse in Endo, but I had the privilege to work with Pat often in prep/recovery. She was one of the kindest, most caring and genuine person. I so enjoyed working with her and was so saddened and shocked to hear of her passing. Pat always talked about her grandchildren and a of the fun plans she would make with them. She had so much love for them. Never forget.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Pat's passing. I'm a recent former co-worker. As I was a new team member taking on a new specialty (endoscopy), Pat was kind, welcoming and consistent in assisting me in any way she could. I found her to be hard working and diligent in her duties as a nurse and she had a quiet expectation of others to have those same characteristics when carrying out their specific job roles. She was an extraordinary nurse who took excellent care of her patients. She also took care to offer help to her co-workers. Now she is in the loving care of the Father; she no longer has to lift a finger. May the sweet memories of your mother offer you all comfort now and in the times to come.

Dear Alex and Molly,

We are so saddened to hear the news of Pat's passing. She was so kind and loving to us when we were new parents in Charleston away from family. We were so blessed that John was being nurtured by her and learning from her as a baby. And getting to hang with his buddy Mac! She was beyond energetic and so caring. The best kind of grandmother. Thinking of you so much right now and wishing we were there with you.

Pat was one
Of the sweetest coworkers one could ask for. She welcomed me right away to the unit when I
Moved from Ohio to Charleston. She never sat down and always willing
To help. We would always talk about her grandchildren and our latest home improvement projects . She recently wrote an RN reference letter for me for a project I am doing. She took it home to put some thought into it so it would be just right. It was the sweetest letter ever! I will cherish her kind, warm and caring personality and the memories I have with her. She is deeply missed .
