Pat always was a positive person no matter the circumstances; her ever present smile was infectious.  A joke at Primrose was “here comes the Payne again” because nothing could be further from the truth.  Pat loved playing games, especially Bridge.  Rarely did she turn down a request to join in on any game.  She also enjoyed playing golf and was on the same league for many years.

Surviving are nieces and nephews, Robin (Patrick) Lappin, Robert Alan Roach, Thad (May) Roach and Patricia (Todd) McGregor; and many great nieces and nephews.
