She was awarded "Business Person of the Year" by the Association of Cazenovia Businesses as a tribute to this accomplishment and was instrumental in establishing Cazenovia's annual Christmas Walk. Pat was a well-traveled, consummate hostess, whose generosity and listening ear have earned her many deep friendships. She will be sorely missed.
