Patsy, you are physically gone and released from your suffering but are happily and lovingly remembered in our hearts and memories! You have been a very dear friend since we first met in 1989 and worked together at National Bank for 6 years and ever since.

I remember you as a kind, thoughtful and fun person with a wonderfully positive outlook, who was a fabulous host and chef. You always had a twinkle your eye and were up for a fun time. I recall many days sitting having coffee (or wine!) with a few delicious nibbles in your little kitchen on the 12th floor chatting, telling stories and laughing and some great times out on the town (usually after Southpac drinks!). You always had a hug when needed and a kind, thoughtful word.

I’ll miss you darling Patsy and will join your memorial online from San Francisco with a good glass (or two!) of good chardonnay! Rest in Peace. With much love and deepest condolences to your family and whanau especially Tim, Garry and Mark (your Guardian Angels!!)

Kim Purdy

Darling Patsy, I am so glad I had the privileged to spend time with you as your VAP activity wing gal, I have such precious memories all them filled with laughter, best kumara chucker, best territorial washing folder, biggest flirt with much winking & giggles, loved listening to your memories of working for air New Zealand and looking after the Queen onboard one of your many flighhts, best Disco Queen and of course your impeccable flair for fashion & food and so much more. To Garry & Mark you are angels the support you gave to Patsy was amazing, to Patsy’s family & friends and past co-workers so sorry for your loss, “Fly High” Pasty & “Rest In Love” Kim.
