Pat was a devoted mother, grandmother and sister and was proud to be called a “Homemaker”. She and her husband were equal and full partners throughout their marriage and each credited the other for their - collective - personal and professional success. She was active in her Catholic faith, sang Alto in her church(s) choir and had a - quiet - passion for helping others achieve their potential, especially those who may have suffered set backs in life. Pat enjoyed entertaining family and friends at her various homes and weekend homes in Ocean City, NJ and at her final home on the Corsica River on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. A voracious reader, she also beautifully played her cherished Steinway piano - a mid-life gift from her husband - and loved a home filled with music and interesting conversation. Over her lifetime, she was an avid knitting and needlepoint aficionado and was able to travel to interesting places all over the world like China, France, Germany, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Tahiti. Pat will be missed by her very large family and all her many dear friends, after a long bout with dementia, she is finally at peace and playing beautiful music once again.
