Many of our conversations were about living wisely, working hard, and making the most of what you had. As she would always say, "making something out of nothing." She was so crafty, talented, hard-working, smart, and funny. And she was definitely very proud to be one of the first women in skilled trades at GM.
Every positive adjective you can think of describes Ms. Pat. What I loved about her most was that she was a straight shooter - a tell it like it is type of person. If she didn't agree with something, you would definitely know it! Yet underneath her sometimes tough exterior was kindness, love, humbleness, and generosity.
I admired her for her bravery, strength and resilience. No matter what she was going through in her own life, she would always say something positive. She had a way of making you laugh and just feel good about life.
There are no words to express the forever love and gratitude I have for Ms. Pat. She always supported my children in school. She was an amazing role model who consistently encouraged my girls. She'd tell them, "you can do it girl, show 'em what you workin' with." That would always make them smile, and of course, she knew it.
Thank you Ms Pat, for loving us and sharing your life with us. You were so amazing and we will miss you so much!
You are forever in our hearts. Rest in Heaven. ❤️ less
