Patricia was employed at GrahamThompson & Co. for 31 years. While there, she formed everlastingfriendships. She will be remembered for her loyalty, commitment, truthfulnessand, straightforward talk.

In 1985, she married MichaelBrown, this union was blessed with two (2) children: Darius and Dion.
Over the years, Patricia devotedher time and energy to her family and work – often going the extra mile toensure that everyone was comfortable and well taken care off.
Pat was delighted to be home fromwork at a time when her aging mother Agnes (mama) needed her most. She took onthis task without any hesitation. Mama was glad for the company also. It can besaid that she had a special gift for handling the elderly – they would call herfor any and everything including a good laugh and she took a keen interest inhearing them talk about the good old days and discussing their physicalchallenges.

OnMonday September 5 at about 5:30am, Pat answered the Masters callreleasing and surrendering all the discomfort she had been experiencing.
