I was shocked to receive my Sheridan County News and see Pat’s obituary! We were the best of friends in Westby during our young days and I helped her with the boys after Shelley was born. We exchanged Christmas cards/letters for many years and always planned to get together in AZ. I am so sorry for your loss, Earl, Mike, Mark and Shelley. Pat was a beautiful person, inside and out! RIP my friend.

Pat will be greatly missed by both of us. We recall talking to her just weeks prior to her fall and loved hearing her laugh as she always did. We will always remember our trips with ER and Pat. We had many hours of card playing and laughing over some really silly things that happened. She was one of the most wonderful people we have ever met. She loved her Lord and loved to sing songs from her church. The world has lost a very great lady.

Pat was a wonderful sister in law we shared many laughs through the years. Her love and faith for The Lord and family was remarkable. Her strength even as her health was failing was amazing. she had many talents and shared her love of needlework and crafts with friends and family. We cherish the moments we shared with her and will truly miss her.
