Due to living far away from Aunt Babe. I hadn't seen her in many years. She called my dad Frank her brother every Sunday. I got the chance to talk to her then. She was always sweet and nice to me. I remember growing up as a young woman seeing her more on special occasions The last one to go from her family. Will be missed

Wow did we have fun w aunt babe on her 90th with my sister Geri @ Mamie’s Cafe in Aberdeen!! We laughed for 3 hours. She was much loved by her great nephew Anthony Delsignore & his wife Sarah. They all spent many hours together & holidays. We have missed her & will always think of her. A great lady that loved her cats, church. Country & family. Ciao Aunt Babe 💕

Q: What was one of your favorite qualities of Patricia? A: Pat cared and loved others. She was always "doing" something for someone -- cooking, baking, talking to them, and more. While everybody needs somebody, Pat was my "somebody". We talked often and we laughed immensely; she and I had much in common as former US Army wives and US Army secretaries. She always maintained her humor and wit. She could turn the worst situation into a blessing by coming up with a solution to make the situation positive. I loved Pat as my very dear friend, and I will pray for her. Dr. Diane Groth
