Pat took her club on field trips to see landfills, recycling plants and other places that play a part in our waste. If there was something to recycle, Pat would initiate and implement immediately. Not only did she teach students the value of recycling and ways to reduce waste, but Pat also taught the entire staff at MES the same values. She had a great respect for the Earth. Pat was an avid golfer; made it a point to golf two to three times a week and was DANG GOOD AT IT! Pat had a tremendous love for her family and friends. She treasured great vacations and time spent making memories. Pat was always there with a helping hand and a plate of cookies.
