To the Family my prayers are with you at this most difficult time.

Little Pat and Bobbie and I grew up on 24th Ave. I don’t even know how old we were when we met but we were besties.  My parents (Caselow & Arlena Jones)managed the Douglas Apartments which was next door to Mrs Smith on the corner. All the children in the neighborhood were a bit older than us, and didn’t like playing with us little kids. We came to call Pat Little Pat because there was another Pat that lived across the street, and she was big Pat... Cause she was older and again felt we were younger she was our friend but don’t forget our places. But the 3 of us had each other and that’s all that mattered. They would come over to my apartment cause I had a play room, we’d have tea parties, lunch etc.  We had fun just being together. When Bobbie fell from that tree OMG we were sooo scared. But our prayers were answered - he got better. They were right there at my side when I got bit by a dog... This was a time was when you had neighborhoods and you played outside- everyone mom and dad looked out for all the kids. 
We move in 1972 (I was 9 yrs old) to the Madrona area and I never saw Little Pat again till many many years later. 
Little Pat liked to bowl and that’s were we reunited. I’ll never forget that day; we hugged for a long time - and even though we were grown now she still was my bestie Little Pat.  I found out that the 2 of us had the same career Banking. I left banking in 2010 after 30 plus years, but she stayed with it.
She bowled with my late husband Pedro Hawkins and my late uncle Melvin Bradford for many years. Little Pat was a real smooth bowler. Her ball would go down the lane so quite, and she was very good. I guess that’s why Pedro and Uncle Melvin never had me bowl on their teams. LOL. She was so consistent... She was really good. 
 Her smile was always so beautiful.
I will miss my bestie Little Pat.  
RIP Little Pat, we all loved you

Dear Family,

I was saddened to hear of Pat’s passing. It is a great loss, I know, and I hope you All find some small comfort from these words which show that you are not alone in your grief and that others are praying for her and her family at this time.

There is a flower that grows wild on mountain meadows and along riversides in Oregon called the Shooting Star.  The petals curve backwards like the cultivated Cyclamen, giving the flowers an appearance of flight like a “Shooting Star”.

Like this flower, we are all “Shooting Stars”; we are all beautiful creations and part of the plan.  And like this flower, we all have a season to bloom and then pass.  Pat is my shooting star and I will forever keep her in my heart.  She was my co-worker, friend and I will miss her laughter, good morning “Tricia” and most of all kindness dearly.

I pray the time with family this Holiday Season will bring comfort to you All.

Sincerely, Tricia M Shelley


I was so honored to have my desk next to Pat's when I first started working at the Bank. She was really sweet, caring, and helpful. I am impressed with her banking experience, she helped me a lot when I was still in my training period. I have always admired Pat for her calmness, she approached and solved the issues in the most professional but calm way. She once shared with me "You never want to rush when cashing checks, take your time to look through everything" and that advice will stay with me for the rest of my life.

The last time I heard her voice was in our team meeting. Due to the pandemic, she had to work from home. I was really happy when hearing her voice over the phone so I said it out loud "I miss you Pat", she responded back to me right away, "I miss you too Cindy". 

Pat, Thank you for your dedication and contribution to the Bank!  I am truly thankful to get to know you, thank you for being a part of my journey!

I will miss Pats hugs and smiles. Whether I saw her on one of my to and fro walks downtown, the light rail or in the Commerce Bank office she always greeted me with a hug and a smile.  RIP Pat. Until we meet again!

Offering my condolences and prayers to the family at this difficult time.  Pat and I shared many commonalities.  Our high school, Garfield.  We worked together for a few years at KFC on East Madison.  And most recently we would always cross paths at the Convention Center as she was on her way back to work.  We would always have wonderful conversation about our life situations. Pat was always encouraging and a lovely, kind woman.  My husband Kenny and I will truly miss her.  A very sweet soul.  Heaven has gained an angel.   

I will cherish my friendship with my dear friend Pat, we shared a lot of deep conversations through the years and certainly a lot of laughs, I know how deeply she loved her baby as she would call her, Miss Shayah her overweight pug. We always had a lot to talk about as we both watched the same shows and enjoyed talking about each episode and what we had to eat while watching, she loved, ginger tea, dark chocolate, ice cream, seafood  just to name a few and her love for bowling and fun trips to the casino were all stories I enjoyed hearing from her. I will cherish her memory and she will forever remain in my heart as my dear friend Pat. 

I am saddened by the news of Pat passing.  I had a pleasure of working with Pat only for a short time but her kindness and quiet sense of humor to a new kid on the block will live on in my memory.   I am truly sorry for your loss.  My prayers are with you.  

Pat was a wonderful woman filled with joy.  Around the office, every time we would talk she would always have a positive message to give.  Pat was one of the kindest and sweetest woman I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.  She was extremely sincere in her actions and would always ask me how I was doing, and how was my family.  I enjoyed getting to know her and she was a true blessing to all.  

Heaven has received a True Champion!
Michael
