Pat loved picnics in Pennypack Park, showing us her “special Tuesday magic” and dancing with all the kids on the holidays.  She also enjoyed going to see her brother Bobby sing.  She was in several bowling leagues over the years.   Most of all she loved when the family would get together. Her backyard barbeques were always the best.
