the kitchen.
Pat was a top bowler and showed no mercy playing to the last end. Playing

with Pat in this event could thank Pat for being a winner in this event. She
enjoyed water aerobics when it wasn’t too cold. On the Thursday she walked
home as she was getting too fat. Someone said how thin as a match stick
meaning she was fit and certainly among us not fat!

We will miss her smile, straight talking, and love of life.

Loved her animals especially her chooks.

From Roslyn and Garry Collins

Pat and Roslyn were workmates at Inghams in the chicken hatchery before
cyclone Tracey, and after the cyclone at Lowan Farm collecting and packing
eggs for several years.

On occasions they cleaned houses together. They remained close friends for
the past 30 odd years.

Pat rang Garry to see how he was after being in hospital on the Friday. She
was always thinking about other people.

Thanks Pat for your great friendship and for all the good times together at
work, New Years Eve and Birthday parties. The trips to Pioneer beach and
camping at corroboree billabong.

Thanks for all the cherished memories you will remain in out thoughts and
hearts forever.

Rest peacefully Pat

From Ken and Aloha Brown

Pat was an accomplished seamstress. She even made lightweight overalls for
her and Norm to wear whilst fishing to keep off the sun and sandflies. She
also made lots of items for the Cancer council Craft Stalls.

Pat enjoyed fish and fishing and had lots of great trips to Bynoe. Some very
happy times were shared there with friends and a cold home brew or two. If
the weather turned cold we would have a warming Bundy Rum.

A great friend – Sadly missed.
