“Snoop” (her maiden name was Snopek) was one of my very best friends in nursing school. She left us in her first year to marry that handsome sailor, John Cox. Will always have good memories of the time we spent together, on the 6th floor of our dormitory. carol schweikert “schweik”

Patricia was a wonderful person and ICU nurse who mentored many young RN’s to include myself. She was a great leader and problem solver, always professional and compassionate. I’m saddened to hear of her passing. God Bless her and her family.

When I started as a nurse in St. Joseph’s ICU, Pat was a mentor and very good to a new nurse. She was also very funny and helped to keep things light during our busiest times. Rest in Peace, Patty, may your family find comfort in their memories.
