Pat was born in Simcoe, Ontario and moved to Mount Pleasant where she enjoyed growing up in a rural village.

Our family would like to thank the doctors, nurses, PSWs and therapy team of the stroke unit on 5D North for their care and compassion over the last 4 weeks and to the staff at Lanark Village where Mom lived for 3 and half years.
