To Jeanette, David, Debbie and families
Deepest sympathy on the loss of Pat. She was loved by everyone in swimming club and families and a wonderful help to Debbie Griffiths when learning at school. She was a great neighbour. Our thoughts are with you.

It was a privilege to have Pat volunteer in my Prep classroom at Colac Primary in the years before covid. She had such a loving nature and a remarkable way with the students. Their faces lit up when she came into the classroom and there were always plenty of hugs given when it was time for her to go.
I enjoyed hearing about her adventures on cruises with her beloved Don and seeing pictures of her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
I send my deepest sympathy to her family and friends.

To David, Debbie, Jeanette & families,
Deepest sympathy on Pat's passing. We have fond memories of our time spent together in the late 60's and early 70's times at Hancock street, and at Kawarren for tennis. A wonderful person who lived her life to the full, rising to any challenge, now reunited with Don.

Pat was such a wonderful person who always impressed me with her positive spirit & dedication. I also met Pat when she was a
volunteer at CPS. Pat devoted time to assist preps with their reading skill development and maintained a warm interest in these students’ progress throughout their primary years.So very sad to hear the news. My tender sympathy to her dear family & all her friends.
My thoughts & prayers ,

We've had a lot of fun and joy. Especially Disney movies. I am thinking of you and as sad as it is hearing about your depression and going through anxiety and confusion myself, you've taught me life's about rest and enjoyment. Its taught me to take care of myself and go easy. We've had exciting and thrilling times, jokes, movies, history, everything i wrote in your card to thank you and pa for everything you've done. I will love & miss you, but its important i remember to look after myself. Bye Grandma i'll miss you, Thank you and peace sign from Winston Churchill cause i know you admired him. from your grandson, Nathan.

I was very saddened to read of Pat’s passing and wish to extend my most heartfelt condolences to David, Deborah, Jeanette and extended families.
Your Mum was one very special lady, a dear friend and a woman whom was so wonderfully supportive of local community events with coaching so many of the younger kids within the swimming fraternity… and so much more. A real volunteering inspiration !
Lovely memories to treasure of my many years of our family’s connection in the 46 Talbot St days and the many visits that Ian and myself had in her home in Hancock St.
Love and hugs to you all. xoxo ♥️🥀♥️🥀xoxo
