Pat's family would like to acknowledge Noemi Cheverez for her compassionate assistance in Pat's care during her final months.

Pat grew up in the East Liberty section of Pittsburgh, graduated from Sacred Heart High School, then married her high school sweetheart. She and Popeye raised their family in Penn Hills. Pat was a stay-at-home mom, and later enjoyed a career as a Merchandise Representative. She enjoyed playing cards, reading, watching old movies, traveling, and going to the beach, as well as spending time with her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and friends.

Pat was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She was loving, loyal, smart, generous, and funny. She was devoted to her family and to her Catholic Faith, and was a beautiful person inside and out. Her daughters feel more than blessed to have had her as their mom.
