Pat was born May 13, 1935 in Baltimore, Maryland. Her siblings always joked that “Patsy Ann” was special because she was the only one of them born in a hospital. She was a most loving person. Love and warmth always filled a room when Pat walked into it. Whenever you asked her how she was, her answer was always, “I’m beautiful.” Every year, she celebrated her seventeenth birthday. She looked forward to every new day as a new adventure. She was an amazing mother to her children and all of their friends. She was a more amazing grandmother and fabulous great grandmother. She always said if she had known how much fun it was to be a grandmother, she would have done that first. Up until her heart attack on January 13, 2010, she did everything her way with the ability to make everyone believe that she was actually doing it their way. Losing Pat has left a huge hole in our hearts and our world. We would like to thank Dr. Muneer Assi for his medical and emotional support throughout the valiant effort to help Pat recover. Thank you to all our friends, family and associates for their support at this very difficult time.
