Stars are born every day but not as bright as the star that shined in Patricia. She was a strong woman who fought cancer head on – she didn’t stop her activities while she was battling cancer, she kept pushing forward enjoying life to its fullest. She became an inspiration to other cancer victims because of her positive attitude and outgoing nature.

Patricia will be missed by her family and friends. She touched many lives with her positive attitude and her bright smile.
