Pat's passing
I was fortunate to count Pat as a friend. As a co-worker of hers at West Whiteland Township for years, I got to know Pat well. She was a warm and wonderful person. It saddens me greatly that she is gone, but Pat was a woman of faith. Knowing of that provides me, and hopefully others, with some comfort. I'll miss Pat and send my condolences to her family and loved ones.

It was always a pleasure spending time with you and Wayne in the younger years. I have many good memories which can't be taken from me. You may be gone from this earth but I know you are in heaven with no more pain. DC, Ellie and Mathew, I am so sorry for your suffering but she is in a good place now and smiling down on you.

I was saddened to learn of Pat's passing. As a reporter for the Daily Local News, I cover West Whiteland township. During supervisor meetings, I would see her sitting at the front table with the supervisors and staff. If I had a question about a story I was working on, I would call Pat and she would direct me to the right person. This is something reporters never forget. I will miss her.
