I met Pat through mutual friends when I moved to Willow Street. She took me to her heart and would go out of her way to make me feel welcome. Such a kind and caring woman. Funny too. I miss you Baby Girl. I’ll always remember you. God bless you.

I also worked with Patti at RCA. She was such a nice kind person and was very helpful to me and my family, especially when we moved to Lancaster from out of state. I stopped and visited with her recently and she shared her ongoing health battles and in her own way was telling me me good bye. I’ ll have many good memories of her! My condolences to her aunt and friends.

We knew her as “Pat”. We lived near each other in Willow Street and got to know her as we took walks and passed her house. I somehow missed her obituary and only found out today (3/14) that she passed. I’m so sad, but knowing she was a Believer, I know we’ll see her again some day. She was a fiesty, friendly woman…..always smiling. God Bless you, Pat.

We were best friends for more than 55 years. She considered our home her second home and considered us part of her family. We went thru many happy times and many sad time together but we did it together until almost the end and then Pat decided to go the road all alone. Holidays were fun filled times with our family and friends becoming her family and friends. She said her goodbyes to us in many different ways this last year. She will always be in our hearts and missed and loved forever.

Patsy and I grew up together. Our mothers met in church when our fathers were in the service. We are about two or three years old. from then on we were pals forever. we went through high school together. She was in my wedding. We kept in touch when I moved away. whenever I returned to Willow Street. I always make sure I stopped to see her. We would hang together and discuss old times I last saw her in July and she told me goodbye then. I’m going to miss her very much. Will see you soon Patsy, I love you.

I worked with Patty at RCA for many years, Patty was a sweet, kind co-worker who kept the neatest files. I remember her driving out of the RCA parking lot in her green and white Catalac, which she was very proud of.

Pat and I were good friends when we were young. There was a group of us that ran around together and gee did we have fun. As happens life situations move on and we all lose touch somehow. Yet , we many times think back to all the memories of the fun filled days. Our age group don’t have the mobility we once had or I’d be at the graveside services . Condolences to all and May she RIP
