Your mom was definitely one of a kind. She loved unconditionally and being “Nana” was her greatest joy. She was the best friend ever to so many. Sending love and hugs to all the family.

Nana was fun, loved her family,and friends and when we met many years ago I knew I had a forever friend.i love you and when I see sunflower’s 🌻 I will smile .
What I admired most about Pat was her joyful feisty spirit. No matter her health issues she always was optimistic, cheery & had a positive attitude. I got to know Pat living here in the neighborhood at Ranger Island. She sure loved her children & grandchildren. That’s all she talked about. And of course her dog Sadie and her love for animals. She will be greatly missed. I’m so glad our paths crossed on this journey of life. May God richly bless her in Heaven. No more suffering now. Endless peace and beauty and rest for the soul with our Creator Jesus Christ. Praying for the family in your time of grief. 🙏🏻❤️🐕🐾
My heart is broken as I just learned of the passing of Mrs. Connors. She was one of the sweetest people. I loved talking to her when she would come to the pharmacy. My heart goes out to her family. They are really great people. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
