Pat loved a party; might piss you off on purpose; only ate dessert, lobster, beans, but mostly crackers with peanut butter; was committed to her opinion and shared it often; and loved us so hard. This tiny woman made sure to take up a big space in the world and our hearts. Goodbye Patster; we love you and had a great time.

A private celebration will be held in Maine at a later date. To leave an online message of condolence for Patricia, please visit us at www.doughertyofhibbing.com
