Some fun facts about Pat. While holidaying in Mexico, there was an earthquake while she was there which I am sure made the trip very interesting. She loved to drive the open road on her motorcycle and 1969 Chevy Camaro. One of the most fascinating things about Pat was her ability to add large numbers in her head endlessly, which amazed some of her nieces and nephews. Pat was an avid curler and card player and had many friends she enjoyed her time with.
In retirement, Pat moved to Oakville to be closer to her sisters. As the years went on she moved into assisted living in Burlington, where she had many friends and enjoyed playing bridge regularly. After a short illness, Pat passed away peacefully and was laid to rest in Sault Ste Marie at Holy Sepulchre Range X Lot 24
She will be remembered by all in our family for her kindness, amazing laugh and all the good times we shared.
