She was loved by many and will be very, very missed by all, especially by her family who knew her for her warmth, generosity, unconditional love and pride of her family as well as her crazy sense of humor. Pat loved to paint and has won first place at the Fall Fair. She will be terribly, terribly missed by her family; daughter Rebecca Parlby (Jerry); son David (Lesca); grandchildren: Michael, Jonathon, Anthony and Crystal; great-grandchildren: Austin and Jayden Parks. Pat is also survived by daughters: Lydia, Chris-Ann, Wendy and their families; sisters: Teresa, Naomi and Eileen; brother Buddy and extended families Bates/Thompsons, especially Dorothy, Satch and family. Goodbye to the best mom and grandma ever. We will miss you always. Your mom, Lizzie, Ann, Barb, Ethel and Joey are there to greet you. Remember the light blubs.
