Pat was a wonderful mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She had a large family that she was so proud of, and many close friends whom she cared for like family. She loved people and loved life. She loved her cabin, her camp, hunting, and fishing. She loved a good get together and always loved music and dancing. The past few years have been difficult with her diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease, and Lewy Body Dementia. Many people were so good to Pat throughout her illness and while we cannot thank everyone individually, we would like to thank the Lohne's Complex staff for their wonderful care they provided to Pat this year. The staff of WMRH-4A, and the Palliative Care Unit for the wonderful care provided for her. Daughter-in-law: Susan Peckford, for caring for her as if she was her own mother. Her sisters: Joan and Ruth, for the exceptional care and visits. Her special niece: Heather, for spending quality time and helping her with meals when she needed it the most. Last but definitely not least; her best friends: Gerry and Elaine, for caring for and supporting both Pat and Ron like their own family.
