Pat was a very great help to me when I joined Great Sankey High School in 2002 to teach Physics. Pat was a new-ish Science Technician with a great deal of practical wisdom. I was doing a career-change from Industry and after a PGCE year was really just a beginning teacher. Pat cheerfully supported me through thick and thin in that first year, and was a constant encouraging presence from then on. After I retired, Gill and I used to go for a meal with Pat every few months. She was a great collector of vouchers and offers, so our meals sometimes cost very little! The last time we saw her was special. We took a meal Gill had prepared and shared it with her at her home. Pat, your presence in the Science department often brightened my day. Your friendship over the years was real. Your love for your family and your pride in them was tangible. Your creativity was beautiful. Pat, you are much missed. x

A huge hug and a beaming smile, Auntie Pat always immediately made you feel at home. We’ll remember her wicked sense of humour and her kindness. Her beautiful hand stitched cards will be treasured in our family forever. You’ll be much missed, Auntie Pat xxx

We knew Pat as a determined and independent person. She had a creative and enquiring mind and liked to try new things. We will always remember her challenge to “down an oyster” at the Cheshire show! (She was the bravest by far!). Pat took great pride in celebrating the beautiful weddings of her daughter and son and derived great joy from her four grandchildren. She will be sadly missed.

Pat was one of the most selfless people we knew, and spent a lot of her life helping others. She never forgot birthdays and anniversaries and her cross stitch cards are a permanent reminder of her. We will miss our regular lunches together. Rest in peace Pat. xx

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Patricia. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
