Until my own mother died she thought of Pat as one of her dearest friends.
I truly loved Pat when I was a child. Thanks to Marci and Mike inviting me to Pat's landmark birthday party, our lives circled around to a reconnection after my own children were grown. My love and condolences to Pat's three
children. With you, I will hold Pat in my heart, Gale

Pat worked in the Pipkin kitchen for several years when I was a teacher at Pipkin. She cared so much about the students and staff. There was never a time, after we talked, that I didn't leave with a smile on my face. Enthusiastic, dedicated and with a genuine sense of humor, she added so much to our school. I had met Marci once, and as a result, she would give me updates on her work and accomplishments. She was so proud. May Pat's memory be a blessing to all of her family and friends.
