Thinking of you especially today, a 3 week anniversary of Pat’s passing. Hard to believe at times. Its been a wild roller coaster ride but you have made it thus far. Some days easy than others. I was privileged to know her for many years and got to know some of her extended family members; her brother Dave from Paris United Church Camp while I was Camp Nurse during my training years, her sister Bev, Heidi and Ginny at the quarterly Salvation Army Women’s Breakfast at Goderich and her Aunt Mary in Scotland staying overnight for one of our nursing Alumni weekend. Pat and I shared much over the years. Family was very important to Pat . She will be sadly missed not only by family but friends, community and especially her many nursing sisters. Pat fought the good fight with all her might and is at Peace. She would want you also to be at Peace. Hopefully we will meet again some day in Glory. My deepest condolences to y’all. Carry her torch and BE THE LIGHT.

Love, Gene & Becky

My deepest sympathies to all of Pat’s family. I worked with Pat at Maitland Manor . She was a very good boss. She unfortunately had far too much work put on her shoulders causing her health issues. I felt relief for Pat when she moved on. I had the pleasure of looking after her Mom Jean. A lovely lady. Easy to see where Pat got her sense of humour from. I send my sincere condolences and may you RIP Pat💕

Our hearts are saddened by the passing of Pat. She will always be remembered for her loving generosity, her beautiful smile and joyous laughter. We were all blessed to have known her.
May your memories of her carry you through this time of sorrow.
The photo was taken at the North Street U.C.W. Foot Spa in 2007. Pat was certainly enjoying herself along with all of the other women.
We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

My Sincere Condolences to Pat’s Family!! I worked with Pat for Many Many years. She Wore as Many Hats!! She NEVER lost perspective of what that role was. She lead the with Utmost respect for Residents+ Staff as she went from R.N.to Director of Care to being to Administrator.
She was a real Leader. She may have been Short but NEVER lacked her Special Guidance times of Outbreaks, Power outages and Death of her Beloved Residents. My Heart is Truely Heavy with Pat’s Passing.
Pat always had her Earthly Wings now she has Her Heavenly ones too!!
Pat will be MISSED!!!

(Trish) Pat was my “lil sis” from Brantford General Hospital Nursing School. So I’ve known Pat for over 50plus years. We shared a few rooms at the Best Western for our June Alumni banquets This was our girls weekend away, a celebration with our classmates. Much was shared through the years with lots of laughter and few tears. Each Spring we looked forward to receiving our “THE LINK” from The Alumni Association of BGH. We often laughed about who got their LINK first, even though we lived in same area. Another inside joke was when we got to our hotel room to see who could bounce a dime on the bottom sheet. The bottom sheet was to be TIGHT, according to one of our instructors. Neither of us could do this and we laughed and laughed. Our weekend together flew by quickly and the ride home was filled with chatter and laughter. Trish was a “lil dynamo” as student and in her career, played piano whenever needed. She even involved me in Care Quilt Project at her church. Shared delightful cups of tea at lunch time as well as doing lots of hand quilting 10 months of the year. Will miss her dearly. Look out Heaven, Pats a little dynamo who walks the talk. Big Sis Marie

To all of Pat’s Family – I am so very sorry for your loss. I worked with Pat many years ago at Maitland Manor and she was caring and professional to all the residents. We lost touch for several years when, after a family loss of my own, I went to Pat to learn how to hand quilt. She rose to the challenge and she likely didn’t realize what her friendship meant to me these last several years. She was dedicated to the Sew n Sews, started by her mother Jean, making and distributing care quilts that I am sure touched many people in the community. I will miss her very much. Cherish the memories.
