I
remember Pat as a fun & classy lady. Back in the late 80`s,
she taught an aeorbics class at Powell Township School & my
girlfriends & I had the best time working out with her. My deepest
sympathy to Pat`s family. Sincerely,

Bobbie, Dick and Tim,
I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's passing.
I will always remember when I was a kid in High School and she took some of us for a ride in her new 1965 Mustang.
I thought that was pretty cool for a "Teacher".

I
am sorry for you loss. Pat was my supervising teacher in 1972.
I learned so much from her and was always grateful that she
was my mentor. She was a wonderful person. You and Pat are in
my prayers and thoughts.

My remembrances of Pat go back to the 1950's and onward when her husband, Bill, was a vital part of the National Guard in Marquette. Pat was a wonderful person, always by his side, full of life and who had a smile for everyone. My sincere condolences to her family. She will be missed by all who knew her.

I
was a classmate of Pat's (class of 1947 at Newberry high school.)
As a matter of fact, we went through all of grade school and
high school together. She was always a good student with a ready
smile and a love of sports. As I recall, she was also an NHS
cheerleader and played on the girls basketball team. The last
time I saw Pat was at our 50th class reunion which she attended
with her friend Ty and we had a wonderful time discussing old
memories. Since I have lived in California for the past 40 years,
I haven't had that much contact with her, but I will always
remember her warmly. I was pleased to learn how much she had
accomplished in her life, about her wonderful family, and how
much she contributed to her church and community. I'm sure there
are a myriad of students who fondly recall her classes. My deepest
sympathy to you all. Please let me know if you are establishing
a memorial in her honor. She always called me, Bergy, as did
most other students.

my gym teacher in MSHS (1966-67). Pat & Bill were good friends
