My name is Joan Long Mahan and I send my most caring sympathy to Pat’s children and her entire family! I was looking forward, as were many of her classmates, to being with her at Marilyn’s party on May 4th to celebrate the life of Patricia Klein Landis – needless we were all shocked and saddened to hear of Pat’s sudden passing!! I have know Pat since 8th grade at St. Anthony’s, grew up in same neighborhood, knew her Mother Hazel and have many stories of our fun times together. I have chatted with Pat on the phone over the years and was last with her April 6,2019, when I arranged a table of our 50’s classmates for the Gala at Catholic High honoring Marilyn for her dedicated services and generous contributions to Catholic High. I have not lived in Lancaster since 1954 and have lived in Timonium MD since 1962, so my time with Pat was not frequent, but when we were together there was a caring and loving bond of true friendship – as though no time had passed. She was/is a great gal and will be truly missed by her ‘old’ friends!! Joan Long Mahan: jjmahan@verizon.net
