Pat "Billy" as she is known to her lifelong friends succumbed to an ailing heart after having fought alongside her husband Ron for a year while he waged his own personal battle with cancer. This long struggle left her weak and although determined to continue on the stress of living alone without her life partner became just too much. After six months of declining health she decided it was time to answer his call to come join him. Although she will be terribly missed by all her family we all know she is finally at peace.
