Dear friend of Arlene Irwin.
Pat retired from Bell Canada after over 28 years of Service. She enjoyed her volunteering with Canadian Cancer Society, Canadian Red Cross, Meals on Wheels and Infant Hearing Assessment at Grace Hospital. Pat was a proud member of the Catholic Women's League, the Ladies Auxiliary and Alter Guild for over 24 years. A devoted member of St. Gabriel's in Windsor, St. Gregory's in St. Clair Beach, and St. Ursula's in Chatham. Pat loved to spend her time reading, doing crosswords, gardening and loved to travel. Her furry friends were very important to her.
The family would like to extend a sincere appreciation to Dr. Rajabalee of Chatham and the staff of Lifetimes on Riverside for their compassionate care and love for Pat during her time there.
