I met Pat when she was librarian at Knox Jr. High in Johnstown and I was a substitute teacher. She recruited me to join the local AAUW branch of which she was president. Pat encouraged me to get involved in AAUW and attend their board meetings. I learned so much from Pat, about running a school library and about AAUW. I will always think of Pat as my mentor. Thank you, Pat. You are missed.

My loving regrets go out to the whole family. Pat was such a gentle, loving friend. I remember all the delicious meals she prepared when we got together, especially the chicken and brocolI casserole. She was so patient and forgiving especially when it came to "putting up" with all of Jim's antics. But he took loving care of her, too. I sure there will be a hole in your hearts, but you all have so many memories of your Mom. She will be another angel guiding her families footsteps as they progress through life. Prayers and love to all of you.

I was sad to hear of Pat's passing. As the principal at Knox. Jr. High, I remember Pat as being the best librarian we ever had. She had a great sense of humor and ran a tight "ship".

and their families. May they find comfort in the memories that they created with their mother. Rest peacefully, Pat.

Your Mom and I went to Elementary and High School together and were close friends. I spent many hours at your Grandparents home & took memorable trips with them. Your Mother was a Bridesmaid in my Wedding to another classmate and friend of hers Jim Seirmarco. When she and your Dad came to Class Reunions they stayed at our home and we spent hours talking about past memories. Jim and I had planned to see her in Florida in April of 2015 but because of other commitments it regretfully didn't happen.
Our Deepest Sympathy in your loss.
