She worked as a professional potter for many years.  Pat was a member of Masters Swimming Canada and she won numerous awards, including holding a world relay record.  One of Pat’s greatest joys was travelling with her husband across Canada and around the world, including Egypt, Japan, Cuba, Costa Rica, England, and Wales.

Mom, it is now almost 7 years since you passed. You had only two tributes here and everyone deserves more than that. You were a complex, beautiful woman who had many struggles in your life. I know you are now with Phyl and Vilda and Colin and Dad. I’m sure Raymond is there with you too. I hope it is beautiful. Love you.
