I met Patricia Sullivan ( my Pat) at Rogers American. She worked one end of the building and I worked on the other. And we worked at a Logistics Company. She always talked about Christopher and when it was time for her to see him, she would light up like a Christmas Tree.
She always longed for the beach. We talked on the phone a good bit.  She loved crafting and made some beautiful things. I have two of her Christmas ornaments with pins and sequins. They will go up on every Christmas tree I have. Another fond memory is LEMON SQUARES!
I LOVED THEM! She was at a karaoke event, and someone asked my husband to sing American Pie and he did. We were sitting in the chairs kind of dancing and I said let's get up and dance! We did and had the best time! Every memory I have of us is a blessing. I loved her accent and she loved mine ( Southern ) It was the way she said " Honey! Like Honey and drag it out. Her birthday was June 12, mine was the 18th - She made the best lemon squares EVER! I do not know if anyone can still see this, but I wanted to remember her. Cathi C in Va was from SC NC - I will always love you her as I am sure we all will.

Pat was more than a boss she was a good friend. Laci and I will miss her. My heart goes out to you Chris.

I first met Pat when she applied for a position with First Citizens Bank in New Bern.  I hired her and it proved to be a very good decision.  Pat was a dedicated employee and moved up to the position of supervisor in a short period of time.  Upon my retirement in 2015, Pat assumed the responsibilities as Manager of the First Citizens Processing Center in New Bern until her retirement.  Pat was very talented and created many gifts for her co-workers as well as many tasty treats for the staff.  She would often joke about her 'Yankee' accent.  She once said she quickly learned to say automobile instead of 'car' when she moved to North Carolina.  She will be missed by all of her family and friends.  I would like to extend my condolences to her son Chris and her extended family.

Hi Chris and Family,
 Your mom was a dear friend and surely will be missed. If there is anything I can do, please just ask.

Joe
