Pat trained at the Toronto East General Hospital, became a registered nurse and worked for several years at the North Bay General Hospital (Scollard site). She taught several refresher courses to nursing students at Canadore College. Pat’s lust for life remained with her till parting. Her kindness and compassion left a footprint on every life she touched. Pat enjoyed the comradery and friendship over six decades with her nursing classmates and their yearly reunions. Dearest to her were Don and her grandchildren. She never missed one opportunity to share her love with them. Together Don and Pat savored their little piece of heaven on Trout Lake, creating memories that family and friends will always treasure. The family acknowledges the excellent health care staff at the North Bay Regional Health Centre and at the St. Joseph’s Health Centre.
