Pat was born on May 6, 1939 in Rainy River, Ontario where she attended school, and moved to Winnipeg in 1955.

As an expression of sympathy if friends so desire, memorial donations may be made in Pats memory to the Manitoba Cancer Treatment and Research Foundation, 100 Olivia St., Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3E 0V9. Our family would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to the nurses and staff on the 4th floor at the Grace General Hospital. MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not too long And not with your head bowed low, Remember the love that we once shared Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take And each must go alone, Its all part of the Masters Plan A step on the road to home. So when you are lonely and sick at heart Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds Miss me, but let me go. Pats family has entrusted her arrangements to the care of: WOJCIKS FUNERAL CHAPEL & CREMATORIUM 897-4665
