Pat's life was marked by her unwavering faith. She was a faithful woman who found strength and solace in her church and church family at Merriman Road Baptist. Her love for her faith was evident in the way she lived her life and in the kindness she showed to others. Pat's sisters, Nancy Roberts and the late Christine Tuzzo, will remember her as a beacon of light who guided their family with grace and compassion.
