Pat exemplified resilience and determination throughout her life. She worked in hotel hospitality for over 30 years, earning numerous awards for her exceptional work ethic and positive attitude.

Pat found happiness in simple pleasures, such as tending to her flower garden and spending time with her beloved cockatiel, Sammy. She cherished her weekly outings with her dear friend Mary Rotz, which often included lunch and leisurely drives around town to revisit familiar places.

Pat was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Mildred Shoemake, and her sister, Peggy. She is survived by cousins Todd (Robin) Hasse, Chris Hasse, as well as her loving friends Glenn and Mary Rotz.

A celebration of Pat’s life will be held at a later date.
