She was quite active at the condo; always willing to help. where necessary. She was the Treasurer for the Social Committee–making sure totals were always correct. Pat was one of the sweetest people I have ever met, so much fun and always concerned of others if ill or etc. She was loved by all. Pat may you rest in Peace and finally free from pain. You are in good hands.

    Dear Greene Family,

    I will miss Pat. I worked with her at Battelle and was also a neighbor of hers when she lived on Ellerdale. We remained in touch and I enjoyed our conversations.
    RIP Dear Friend!

  35. Cindy Richmond says:

    I have just learned of “Aunt Patty”’s passing and I’m am so sad. She was a fundamental person in my life. I started at Battelle as an intern and grew into a professional researcher under her watch. I loved her deeply. While some of our antics were legendary, she was always a joyful, interesting, and lovely person. I do regret hiding a plastic mouse in her desk to scare her (it worked!), but the many other “ troubles” we got into are not regrettable and confirm that she was an amazing, smart, and delightful friend. I will love her always.
