    Condolences to Pat’s family from Gene and Sharon Swackhamer.. We are so glad that she was able to join the Swackhamer family at the Angry Donkey restaurant on June 24, 2021, with Maria, Mike and Kathy. It was a fun evening and she seemed so happy to be there. My favorite memory was visiting Pat and Richard and the “young” kids scampering everywhere. Sharon and I were newly married and you gave us pause regarding family, but it only lasted a little while!

    Pat and I worked together at the Diagnostic Clinic and we became very good friends, staying in touch after she moved to Indiana, I had not heard from her
    for awhile so I searched obituaries and found her notification. I am saddened to hear of her passing. My deepest condolences to her family, she was so proud
    of all of her family members. When she was married to Jim the four of us would go to dinner together. I have lost a dear and longtime friend. I will always cherish the friendship we had.
    Sincerely,
    Maureene Scott
