Celebrating a Life Filled with Passion
Pat was not only a distinguished physician but also a woman of varied interests. She had a passion for cooking, often using her culinary skills to bring friends and family together. Her love of gardening and floral arranging led her to pursue classes that further enhanced her appreciation for nature’s beauty.
A devoted reader, Pat often found solace and joy in the pages of her books. Her gentle heart extended to animals, with her cats, Toby and Russo, providing her with companionship and affection throughout her life. Above all, her greatest joy was her daughter, Dana Sisson, who she considered not only her child but also her best friend.
