Also survived by many nieces and nephews.  Predeceased by her parents Hector & Mary Anne Houle, and her 6 siblings.  Patricia loved to be needed and enjoyed helping family, friends, neighbours and stray cats.  After her children were in school she pursued a career as a PSW which fed into her need to help others.  She was the ultimate gift giver whether you needed it or not.  The family would like to express their gratitude to the staff of Marshall Gowland Manor, Ivy Hall. The care and love she received was second to none, and it brought peace to her family.
