WHITE, Patricia Ruth (Paterson)June 18, 1924 - February 15, 2015It is with great sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of our precious mum, Pat. Only child of Frances Mae (Gerhardt) and Charles Symington Paterson of Toronto. Happily married to H. Brian White for 66 years, who predeceased her in December, 2012. Adored by four children and their spouses Susan Petch (John), Robert White (Lynne), Cathy Bredt (Bill), Elizabeth Lee Nagy (Andy) and grandchildren Tricia (Brendan), Rob, David (Amelie), Kelly, Evan, Alison (Hugh), Andrew (Tory), Stephen, Kristin, and great-grandchildren Liam, Riley, Charlie, Odette and Finley. Treasured by her "oldest and dearest" friend, Jean Day Dougall and the Barootes clan. Pat was born and raised in Toronto. She was a proud alumna of Camp Onawaw, St. Clement's School and St. Hilda's Trinity College (U of T '46). Pat, Brian and the children moved to Hudson in 1954 after an early west-coast swing. Her life was dedicated to family and friends, and she was second mum to many. Her Sunday dinners were legendary and there was always room at the table for one more. She loved sailing, skiing, skating, swimming, travel, church and community involvement. She exemplified compassion, inner strength and, above all, love and grace in all that she did. She was the anchor of the family, St. Pat, LOL. The family would like to thank the staff at the Sunrise de Beaconsfield for their excellent care. They continued to add joy to Mum's life. Many thanks to the Lakeshore General Hospital and Maison Herron for their exceptional care during her final week. A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 p.m. Friday, February 20, 2015, St. James' Anglican Church, 642 Main Road, Hudson, Quebec, J0P 1H0. Gracious to the end. We love you, Gran, and thank you.
