Pat was a loving wife to Joseph for 54 years, a devoted mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and cherished sister and friend. She was known for her kindness, compassion, and empathy for others. Her smile really did light up a room.

Pat had heart and wit. She was liked by everyone we worked with at W6 and then Muhlenberg Hospital. She cared for family, family at work, and had a positive attitude which made it a better place to work. What a caring person.

Pat was a hard worker & great mht at LVH. Her laugh was something I remember. She spoke so lovingly about her grandkids & great-grand kids. After she retired, I ran into her at a few Lions/Lioness events & she had a passion for helping people in that way, too. My sympathy to Joe, Jackie, and the rest of her family.

I worked with Pat for 18 years. She was my best friend in work. They used to call us Mutt and Jeff. She was my daughter's godmother. I will always remember the fun times we had and all of the good memories. Even when we came home from a nursing conference in Shippensburg and ended up in Virginia.

We'll always remember your lovely smile. You were a sweet kind lady. I'm glad I was able to talk to you on the phone just days before you passed and you received the note I sent without your last name because I didn't know how to spell it! We'll miss you Pat.
