Pat was a good friend, lovely lady and always professional in everything she did. She was fun, caring and kind. She had a twinkle in her eye and would “blush” on occasion when teased! She will be missed but I am sure that she is a beautiful Angel in Heaven with her beloved Dean. I am honored to have known her.

Patty was a true friend and a mentor to many. She was always willing to help out when needed. She was ever busy. Shooting skeet and sporting clays was her passion. She was a true champion in every thing she did. She will be missed. Now she can be at peace.

I worked with Pat for many years at Allegan Medical Clinic. She took pride in everything she did-whether it was her medical profession or skeet and trap. We once went to Friendship, IN with her and Dean for a weekend with our kids for a NMLRA shoot. They still talk about it. She will be missed.
