Posted on: Monday, April 28, 2025Ron, Jocelyn and Matt: Pat’s sorority sisters in Sioux Lookout are making a donation in Pat’s honour to St. Mary’s Church here in Sioux Lookout. I have informed most of the members personally about Pat’s death, and some will see the post on Facebook. That was a lovely picture of Pat. I know it will be hard getting used to the new normal, but I know you all will have fond memories of Pat. Ron and Pat were such active members of the Sioux Lookout community and there will be many people who will be saddened by this news. Please accept all our deepest condolences at this time. We miss Pat, too.
