I've lived in Pagosa Springs , Co
for the past 5 years I'm so disappointed that Patsy was so close to me, I would have visited her , I'm in Taos once in awhile . I have great memories of my friendship with Penny and the Schumacher family in Waukegan when I was growing up . I'll never forget going to Lake Lawn and being treated like one of the family . Sorry for your loss .

Pat was in good spirits and we had a great time reminiscing. Pat was an energetic & spirited person, loved her home in Toas and served her community well. Her family will truly miss her and morn her peaceful death.

Lori Ralph published a tribute .

I became part of the family in 1984 when I married Pats grandson Augie. I couldn't have asked for a nicer, sweeter, more loving family to be a part of. Grandma and I really enjoyed eachothers company whether we we're shopping, or chatting over coffee. Her and Grandpa always made me feel like a true family member since the day I met them. I love and miss them both and will never forget the good times and special memories. It's comforting to know they are together again.
