Miss pat was my grandmother’s next door neighbor she also would babysit me as a child and eventually even when I was growm would watched my children on occasion., she never forgot a birthday she would always send my kids $2 bills and a card on their every year and get them a little bracelet with their name on it and a gown when they were born.
I will forever cherish the memories she was part of . Everytime I drive to my grandmothers and pass her (old)house so many good memories come flooding back She was the most kind hearted person anyone could meet,she will be missed greatly by everyone who got the chance to know her.

1948-49 Pat and I were in Mrs. Thiel’s first grade class at Junker with Herman Weber and we finished FHS together in 1960. We became BESTIES working on the 50th FHS Reunion and remained devoted friends the rest of our days together. Someday, I believe Pat and Herman and I will be together again with angels.
Miss Pat was our next door neighbor for over thirty years. She wasn’t just our wonderful neighbor but also part of our adopted family. She had moved back to Vidor to care for her parents after her husband had died. Her Dad and family built her a cute house in Harder’s Patch and she opened a home daycare. She was so caring and loving to my only child Joshua and my nephew and nieces It gave me peace of mind knowing he was loved and safe in her care while I was at work. The children she kept grew up and had children of their own but Miss Pat never forgot them. She always sent cards to them to this very day.Even though she moved to her son’s home several years ago because of her health. To this day every time I glance at her home I look for her in her yard. She loved her yard and always was working in it. She took such good care of her landscaping and her beautiful plants. Miss Pat was my Mother’s best friend. They made so many memories together. Miss Pat was such a sweet person we will all miss her forever. It was a wonderful privilege to have known her and loved her. Sending my condolences to her Family and friends. Enjoy your Angels wings you are free of pain and suffering. Love Ginger Bandeaux
