Patricia was a wonderful person and ICU nurse who mentored many young RN’s to include myself. She was a great leader and problem solver, always professional and compassionate. I’m saddened to hear of her passing. God Bless her and her family.

When I started as a nurse in St. Joseph’s ICU, Pat was a mentor and very good to a new nurse. She was also very funny and helped to keep things light during our busiest times. Rest in Peace, Patty, may your family find comfort in their memories.
