Pat was a sweet, kind, generous soul. When the kids were little she would bring surprise gifts over to our house. I especially remember the apple sauce maker! We made and canned applesauce from then on! Her warm smile could light up a room.

We are sad to hear of Pat's passing and send our condolences to Christina and all of the family. Pat was one of the first people I met when we moved to Fredonia. She didn't "offer" to help as we navigated boxes and kids - she simply helped out by showing up at our door, introducing herself, and handing over 2 days worth of (delicious) meals. This was the first of many generous and kind acts from Pat. Our memories of her include backyard bubbles with kids, making applesauce, and gingerbread houses. While she was an accomplished person, I don't remember her talking often about herself. Instead, she talked about her family with delight and pride in her voice. It was clear they meant the world to her.

Joe,
So sorry to read about Pat--too young, too soon. She had a wonderful spirit. The obituary brought back memories from long ago. Hope you're doing OK, and have your children and grandchildren for emotional support. You may have heard that Peter Bedrosian passed away before Christmas, but Ann carries on.

Pat was a good friend when I lived in Stroudsburg. Our children played together & enjoyed all the craft projects she created. She made me a beautiful stained glass butterfly which I still enjoy today. And I also use her cheesecake recipe. I remember Pat as having a very generous heart. I am sorry & offfer my prayers for comfort.

Our family knew Pat and Joe during their tenure in Stroudsburg, PA. We were sad to see them move but kept in touch thru letters and cards for many years. We will remember Pat as a good and generous person who was always willing to go the distance to help someone in need, never expecting anything in return. She was also dedicated to the Neuman Center over the years and used her photography skills to take wonderful photos of Fr. Bendik's final Mass there. To know Pat was to love and respect her. It is a blessing that their life's journey brought Pat and Joe to Stroudsburg. To her children and grandchildren, you are the gift she leaves behind and her goodness remains in you.
With sympathy, love, and care, John and Ann Horvath

I had the honor of meeting Pat through her daughter Christina. She was generous, thoughtful, creative, and kind. We enjoyed many conversations at JMIW in Fredonia. I think of both Pat and Christina each Thanksgiving, as I make my homemade pumpkin pie with the recipe Christina shared with me after telling me that she only likes her mother's pumpkin pie. It is now a family favorite for my own family. I am grateful to have made her acquaintance and extend the most heartfelt sympathy to the entire family.

Someday I will craft a memorial tribute befitting my mother’s epic generosity, wide-ranging talents, and infinite love. For now, let me share some memories that might comfort friends and family or provide insights into the amazing person she was. Although I write with deep, raw grief, with my heart still breaking anew each day, please know that I’m filled with gratitude as I reflect on her legacy and all the goodness she put into the world.
My first lessons in common decency, kindness, social justice, generosity, environmental activism, and hard work came from my mother. Some of my earliest preschool memories are going to the courthouse with her while volunteered for the Legal Aid Society. At the time, I had no idea what she was actually doing; I just felt important unpacking my Snoopy lunchbox and eating at grownup desk. Those memories seem so fitting—my mother giving generously to others while still making me feel like the center of her world.
Those who remember our house in Stroudsburg know it was clean but very cluttered. Part of that stemmed from my mom’s numerous creative energies—sewing, knitting, cross-stitching, wheat weaving, basket making, quilting, baking, cooking, and photography. But she was also always willing to give wings to our flights of creativity, and she allowed Michael and me to explore in messy, beautiful ways. I had my own baking drawer, rows in her garden, chemistry sets, gerbils, rabbits, fish, and every arts & craft material you could think of. And she encouraged exploration of other worlds, whether in the woods and pond near our house or through our family trips.
The first person in her family to attend college, she knew the value of education and the hard work it took to get there. Because she had to pay her own way, she tried to make things easier for her children. She asked us to do our best but inspired us to achieve by believing in us and modeling the joys of curiosity and learning. It took me many years to appreciate her return to college and everything she had to balance when she went back to work. I hope she knew how proud of her I was.
When I became a parent myself, my mom was supportive beyond belief, and she seemed to make spoiling her grandchildren her retirement plan. After she moved to Fredonia, her creative talents returned in full force, and she knitted stockings, made Christmas ornaments, baked cookies, and nurtured the interests of her grandchildren. When Christopher got interested in ancient Egypt, they built paper pyramids, read countless books, learned mythology, and tried Egyptian cuisine. I’m pretty sure she thought one of her grandchildren might become president someday; she documented every event with photos.
Sadly, physical health problems and depression cut short her retirement plans. Although she spent her final years struggling with illness, she always appreciated all the cards, letters, photos, and thoughtful things everyone sent and did. I know she touched many lives—from her students to her extended family members to people she helped in various communities. Please know that although she didn’t write or call during those final years, she remembered everyone with great fondness.
In some ways, I’ve been preemptively mourning my mother for years, but her loss still seems seismic to me. I suspect her death will make me a kinder, more empathetic person because she taught me to appreciate the richness of the human experience and because mourning her summons the best parts of myself. I hope your thoughts of her bring joy and that in revisiting them we can all put some goodness out into the world.
Thank you for remember my mom.

It is easy to have fond memories of my sister-in-law Pat because she was consistently kind, giving and full of joy. I am particularly appreciative of when I was a new entry into the family when she was so accepting. It was in those early years when Donna and I were living in upstate New York that Pat would host many of our family gatherings. Her care in assembling, preparing and serving the abundant and delicious feasts were clearly from the heart. Pat will be sorely missed.

I have many beautiful memories of my older sister Pat. An early memory is of her taking me shopping to buy a special gift for our parents' anniversary. I'd saved for quite awhile and Pat helped me choose a vase. When we got home the bag containing it slipped out of my hands and it shattered on the sidewalk. My tears soon followed but Pat comforted me, helped me pick up the pieces and drove me back to the store. Since I was then almost broke she chipped in so I could purchase another vase.
It was my great good fortune to have had such a loving sister but her caring extended to everyone. Pat was smart, pretty and popular and could easily have been stuck up yet instead she was kind and generous. When she was in elementary school she was ahead of her classmates. Her teachers felt it was socially better for kids to remain with their age group rather than skip ahead so they asked Pat to tutor her slower classmates which she did happily. All of us who knew Pat were lucky to have had her in our lives.

Mrs Jarvis was a wonderful person and an important part of my childhood. She always had a pleasant air about her and welcomed me into her home. My memories of her are filled with kind and selfless behavior. She always put the needs of others before her own and was always willing to drop what she was doing to help out. She was always willing to lend an ear or a bit of tough love advice when I was being, well me. She touched so many people and I hope she will be honored and remembered for the great person she was. These attributes are also evident in her children and grandchildren. You will be missed..

Your mother was a fine woman who will be greatly missed. I fondly remember her from our days in elementary school at Saint Matthews. She taught me how to cross stitch in 6th grade on the stage in the cafeteria/auditorium. She taught me all the stitches with great percision and patience, as tasks that required focus and quiet weren’t always my strong suit. She taught me without judgement to pull the stitches out and “to try again” when I messed up. I ended up making a beautiful Christmas ornament that year, two yellow bells with the word JOY stitched in black thread below them. She mounted it in a gold frame for me and glued a green ribbon at the top so I could hang it on the tree. She told me it was beautiful and I believed her and I felt very accomplished. It seems so simple, but your mother’s warmth and kindness seemed big to me at that time and has stayed with me all these years. To this day, each Christmas when I put that ornament on my tree it reminds me of your mother, your family. It brings me back to a time when Stroudsburg was a lot smaller and moms, like yours, were the heart of our school and community. It makes me realize how lucky I was to have such a blessed childhood. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
