Many of us were deeply saddened by the news of Pat’s passing. She was much fun to work around at Struthers-Wells, and a great neighbor. Pat always had a smile on her face and a kind word willing to pass on. Rest in peace Pat, you will never be forgotten .
So very sorry to hear of Patricia’s passing, she was a good friend who I worked with @ Struthers and always enjoyed chatting with her. Sincere sympathy to her family.
JoJo, we were so sad to hear of your mothers passing. Your mom was a great lady and will be missed by many. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
I will always remember Patricia from Northwest Bank. First as Joanie’s Mom and then as a very lovely person that would always greet us every day with a wonderful smile.
Joanie and family, so sorry for your loss, prayers to you and your family
