Pat was always a joy to meet on campus or on Davidson-Concord Road. She lived life to the fullest. I'll miss her.
I am so sorry to learn of Pat’s passing. So many memories growing up in Paul Smiths with the wonderful Peroni family. Sending our thoughts to Luke and family and all of those obviously touched by Pat during her amazing life.

I was shocked and saddened to read of Pat's passing in our local newspaper. While we went to the same elementary schools and high school together, we always traveled on very different paths. I am so impressed -although not surprised- to read of all her educational and professional accomplishments. It is also clear from reading her obituary that she led a very full and rich life and was much loved by many. My sympathy to you, Luke and your family, and to Pat's many dear friends, colleagues, and students.
Sincerely,
Nanette (Gokey) Winter
Pat was always one of my favorite people at Davidson College and I considered myself lucky if I had the good luck of running into her on campus. She often would be walking her dog and always had a kind word to share. I appreciated her letting me stay in her home for a few days when I needed to be close to campus to help run a conference that our department was hosting. And, I enjoyed sharing some Lenten roses with her from our yard. I remember her coming over after a soaking rain (when digging was easier), and helping her select some varieties that would work well in her wonderful yard in Davidson. She was a gentle soul and I will miss her.
