the years, as "Mrs B." She later retired, after many years of service with Blue Cross/Blue Shield
in Camp Hill. She and her husband raised their family in the Carlisle Calvary Road Church of God ... where
she still had many warm memories of the Church's Homemakers Club. Later, she was a member of the Meeting
House (formerly the Brethren In Christ), in Carlisle. Pat simply loved being with and taking care of her
family.
