Just like her mom, to know Pat was to love her. Always smiling, you could not help but smile back at a woman who made you feel good about yourself with her kind and caring words. Pat lived a simple yet fulfilled life. Whether it was sharing her delicious home cooking or her wonderful sense of humor, Pat found her greatest joy in making her family and friends happy. I feel very fortunate to have been one of her many friends and blessed to have many wonderful memories of a very special woman. I sympathize with all who grieve her. May our faith in knowing she is joined with other loved ones we have lost bring us comfort and peace.

Hawkey Family,
I'll miss Pat even though we haven't been as close as we once were. I know she's with her family, Jim and a lot of our good friends now. No one knows when God is going to call us home, but I know when he does we'll be best friends again. She will always be in my thoughts and never will be forgotten.
Her forever friend, Susie Clarke

To the Hawkey girls, I'm so sorry for your loss. I am so thankful that I got to see Pat and talk to her a couple of months back. She was my best friend when we were growing up. I'll never forget her. She'll always be in heart and prayers. Kathy Morgan

your mom was one of the best people I ever knew, she did know how to laugh, and sing the oldies. I pray that your sorrow passes as you begin to remember the good times. you may cry when you do remember but you will learn to smile, then laugh at the memories Fran Dreisigmeyer

She was a wonderful, caring person, one that I will always hold close to my heart !

Chris and Craig - we are so very saddened by the loss of your wonderful Mother. Pat was a friend since the mid 70's and I have so many memories of the fun and laughter she brought my way.

It is Pat that I have & will continue to thank for me meeting my Husband.

You boys and my son, Matt were in scouting together and Pat brought her unique
sense of humor to a memorable trip to NY with the Scouts.

Please keeps those wonderful memories and the many more you have, close to your heart and she will never be truly "gone".

I know they seem like just words right now, but I know that time really does heal the sadness of losing a loved one.

God bless you and all of your Families, that Pat was so very proud of!
