We will miss her smile, straight talking, and love of life.
Loved her animals especially her chooks. Loved her fishing and crabbing. Disliked snakes as they would eat her budgies. Loved gardening and was an active member of the Gardening club.

From Roslyn and Garry Collins Pat and Roslyn were workmates at Inghams in the chicken hatchery before cyclone Tracey, and after the cyclone at Lowan Farm collecting and packing eggs for several years. On occasions they cleaned houses together. They remained close friends for the past 30 odd years. Pat rang Garry to see how he was after being in hospital on the Friday. She was always thinking about other people. Thanks Pat for your great friendship and for all the good times together at work, New Years Eve and Birthday parties. The trips to Pioneer beach and camping at corroboree billabong. Thanks for all the cherished memories you will remain in out thoughts and hearts forever. Rest peacefully Pat From Ken and Aloha Brown Pat was an accomplished seamstress. She even made lightweight overalls for her and Norm to wear whilst fishing to keep off the sun and sandflies. She also made lots of items for the Cancer council Craft Stalls.

Pat enjoyed fish and fishing and had lots of great trips to Bynoe. Some very happy times were shared there with friends and a cold home brew or two. If the weather turned cold we would have a warming Bundy Rum. A great friend – Sadly missed.
