Just looking back at Pats Memorial and something I did not notice prior to this was the video that was made of her and her wonderful family. I watched it in it’s entirety and feel blessed for doing so. We were close, so seeing photos of her and Norman together I saw with my heart. Pat passed away one day before Norman died. His body was at Shimunek Funeral Home the same time as hers. I didn’t want her family to know this at the time as they had enough sorrow in their lives. He was at Shimunek until June 24, 2019 until his scheduled time for burial at Arlington National Cemetery. I will miss them both with all of my heart. God bless you all.

I've known Miss Pat for over 35 years and there are so many memories of family parties, birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and VFW parties.  But the memory that comes to mind today is the last Girls Trip we took for Mothers Day.  Jackie, Amanda, Miss Pat, my sister (Mary-Beth), my late Mother (Dorothy) and I went to Ocean City to celebrate Mothers Day.  We had a really fun time!!  We enjoyed each others company, had fun at the bar - mainly at our expense - and our trip to the board walk was hysterical.  We ate french fries, polish hot dogs and Miss Pat bought candy and ate almost all of it before we returned to our room.  She loved that candy.  We all laughed and had a very special Mothers Day - one never to be forgotten.  There is nothing like a Mother. xoxoxoxo

I never met Pat in person.  We talked on the phone for years at SSA and as she teleworked.  I did not know that she was battling with her health and she never let on.  She was a mentor to me in purchasing government items.  She kept me straight and was tough in doing the right thing.  I know her voice and now I have her face to remember and cherish.  May God refresh her family and friends with memories of who she was and what she stood for.  God's peace and blessings to all who knew her.

Jackie and Family-I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother.  I realize how difficult a loss like this is and we share in your sorrow.  Pat was a wonderful woman, colleague, and neighbor, who will be missed.  Take Care, Dan

Jackie & Family~~I am so very sorry to hear about your Mom.   I know how very hard this is for you and hope that all of the really GOOD memories are the ones that make you feel peace and comfort, and bring that unexpected smile when you and family and friends talk of her in the coming days and months.  She gave  us all plenty of times and memories to smile about, and she will always be with those she's come from, created, spent time with, mentored and loved and laughed with....she is the definition of commitment and dedication~~being around you in your time of sorrow is no less a task that she will make sure she checks off her list!  You are all in my thoughts and prayers, with love, Tammy.

Dear Jackie and family. I will always cherish the memories of your mother. She was an inspiration to me and many others at Social Security. She displayed a work ethic that always earned my admiration. I admired her always speaking her mind regardless of the politics. She was a great lady and I will always remember her. My sincere condolences for your loss. 


Pat was a true friend and associate who I could always count on,  She had a pure heart and sole, possessing  wisdom that  provided a calm anchor and clear advice to everyone.  Pat was beloved by all.  The world was certainly made better by her admirable life, and she will be richly  rewarded in heaven.
