She found so much joy in being the Nana of Chris, Erin, Doon, Lily, Eli, Reggie, Tito, Derek, Dorothy, Jackie, and Michael. As well as a great grandmother, or Gigi as she liked to be called by her great grandchildren, to Teagan, Jon, and Julian. Pat was a champion of her grandchildren's interest. She always made time for them and they frequently came to visit and spend time with her.
In many ways, Pat was the glue that held such a large family together. She was the center of the family's universe.
