Patricia Jubb Obituary

Patricia Jubb, a Colorado Springs resident since 1955, passed away February 8th at the age of 88. Born in Baltimore, MD, the third daughter of John Edwin Griffith Jr. and Kathryn Harlan Griffith, she developed a love for horses, dogs and cats early in life. At Bouvé School of Physical Education and Health Studies for Women in Boston, Massachusetts, she excelled in sports. She worked for many years at Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs as a medical transcriptionist. Pat lived a very full life. She loved teaching her own and many other children to ride. When her kids left home, she was able to indulge herself in her own love of riding again as a competitor and judge for 30 years in the National American Trail Ride Conference. One of her primary goals was to see and forge the teamwork between horse and rider. Pat considered the aspen tree groves of the Colorado Rocky Mountains as her "cathedrals, and all of nature as God's sacred creation." She is survived by three children, Judith, Sharon, and Michael and a granddaughter, Lyra. Memorial services will be announced later.

Judy, Sharon & Mike, I worked with your mother years ago at Memorial Hospital. She was a good friend to me - I remember specifically helping her to wallpaper her bathroom in her house on Uintah and Palmer Park. Sorry to hear of her passing.

Our sympathy to Pat's family. She will be missed! Was always fun to ride when she was at the rides and Cecil says he misses their long talks at the horse trailer!

Judith, Sharon, and Michael,
I knew your Mom through NATRC. Just wanted to let you know that she was a wonderful influence on me in my early days of competing in Colorado. She would drop helpful hints without sounding like she was lecturing. Loved her comments on my card when she was a judge. God bless her soul.

Dear Judy, Sharon and Mike,
My grandmother Dorothy Sumner, my mother Catherine, and I always admired Pat a great deal. And she was such a good friend to Dorothy! Happy moonlit trails to both of them.
