I will always have fond memories of "Patty", after all, she was my first date.  I enjoyed her friendship through Mason School and Southwest High School where she was our Senior Prom Queen.  It was nice to rekindle the friendship through high school reunions.  It's not surprising to learn that she had a positive influence on her students.  She was a very kind and caring person and will certainly be missed.

My sincerest condolences to Pat's family and friends. I attended Mason and Southwest with Pat. We were good friends, I remember her as a fun, kind and caring person.

My condolences.
She was my teacher at Mason Middle in the 80's. She was my favorite teacher.  Truly a great woman.

My sincerest condolences.  Patricia Bowolak was more than a teacher; she was a mentor and a friend. I was blessed to be in her class at the most troubling  year of my life.  Ms. Bowolak saved my life. She helped me to see hope in my hopeless situation. She gave me the courage to live.  It is because of her that I have the ability to speak life into the lives of countless students today.  Well done my friend, take your rest.  Niketia Coleman, Ed.D

I had Miss Bowolak for 8th grade math class at Mason ILC in the 80’s.  Rest in peace ❤️

Rest in peace Patty. Went to Mason grade school together.

It was a pleasure and a honor to have  known Patricia.  She was a beautiful lady.  My most sincere condolences to her family.

I am very sorry and my condolences go out to all of Pat's family and friends. Ms. Bowolak (as we, her students called her) was my all time favorite teacher. She taught me math in fifth, sixth, and seventh grade at Stix School in the early 70's. She was such a caring teacher who pushed you to do, and be your best. She took the time with each of her students, whether they struggled or excelled, she was always there for them. I know that I am just one of the many hundreds of students whose lives she touched, and I am fortunate, to this day, to have been taught by such a great educator, but more importantly a great person.
