Kirk , Ellie. and family,
Just sending a prayer for all of you! Thinking of you!
Love Annette & Tom.
What a lovely, spirited lady! Always volunteering her time to set up trips and fun activities for retired members of NHFT 933-R.
Patricia will be sorely missed. May she Rest In Peace.
I am so Thankful I was able to meet and be a part of Pat’s life. As you know working in the healthcare field we all have that 1 client that clings to your heart ❤️ That is what Pat did to me. I will miss those phone calls day or night. We both have a love for Waters Edge where she met my granddaughters, and hang out at the pool. For my Birthday Pat gave me a White Feather in a glass tear drop with a card saying your my angel some day I will be yours. I will always Cherish this. I Thank the family so much for letting me be a part of her live. God Bless
Rich and family: Sorry to hear of Mom’s passing; your are all in my thoughts and prayers.

The Retired Teachers of New Haven, Local NHFT-933R extend their sympathy to Pat’s family.
She was an active member of our union and planned many enjoyable trips for our members.
I admired her spunk and determination. In her later years, Pat came to our meetings using her cane and even came using her wheelchair. That’s dedication. We will miss her.

May she rest in peace.
