    We met Pat many years ago. She started attending First Assembly of God on Wrightsville Ave. Jeff and Julie were just babies. Right after that her first husband drowned. She was a strong willed person. Will always remember her.

    I just learned of Pat's passing, and I am heartbroken. She was my hairdresser and friend for 20 years. I know how she suffered with her health issues, but no longer. RIP dear friend.
