Patricia proudly raised her family on a farm in Rock Mills, cleaned the one room house, took on sewing and attained a driver’s license as an adult. As the kids grew, she took on a job at the shoe factory in Markdale, joined the Order of the Eastern Star and was Worthy Matron of Grey Chapter, #170 and a member of the organization for over 47 years. She will be fondly remembered in Dundalk from the arena at the concession stand. Many hours were spent at the lot with her grandchildren, (what happened at the lot stays at the lot).
