    Pat was a close family friend of 55 years, lovingly known as “Aunt Pat” by our children and grandchildren, and we celebrate her life and cherish the time we all got to spend with her. She was a caring, giving and compassionate soul who always put others first. In this difficult time, may family and friends be comforted by fond memories of Pat, and may she rest in peace. Patricia, you’ll be dearly missed. (Marilyn Bennett, Ottawa, KS)
