My deepest sympathies to family and friends. Our neighborhood family will miss seeing Pat and Lyssa taking their daily walks and greeting neighbors. Peace, Pat.

Pat and I also worked in Personal Lines together. She was very knowledgeable - mostly self taught, and a stickler for details. I found myself on the losing side of a difference of opinion about rating rules with Pat several times. Pat was a highly sought after expert in her field and I was blessed to have her on my team, whichever projected we worked on.

Pat and I knew each other for years while working for The Hartford - at first while she was in Home Office and I was in field offices. We were some of the original group forming the Personal Lines Department. Later we were friends and co-workers in Home Office. We shared many memories and experiences. I was saddened to hear of her passing.

I grew up across the street from you. I spent many hours raking and shoveling at your house. You became a friend as the years passed. I always made it a point to see you when I came home. Rest in peace Pat!

Pat and I have been friends since 7th grade at Winchester Jr. High. We certainly had some fun times over the years and so many long phone calls. She will be missed.
