Mom of the late Jeannie-Marie, April (Brad) Bird and Lyle (Robin) and wife of 27 years to the late John Lightfoot. Proud grandmother of eight grandchildren, Beau, Cody, Isaac, Kaycee, Loretta, Paisley, Rosemary and Thomas. Mom enjoyed being the official calf feeder on the family dairy farm and how that life made her and her children appreciate the farming industry. Pat was also an active volunteer, always passionate about the care of seniors and was proud to be recognized as VON volunteer of the year. She was forever grateful for the friendships and people she met with her involvement with the Senior Support Services, elder abuse, 1996 plowing match, wood lot association, Haldimand Stewardship Council, Habitat Haldimand, Alzheimer Society, Catholic Women’s League and Saint Vincent de Paul. Mom took pleasure sitting out by the water at her cottage on Lake Erie, singing, listening to music, the piano, and the great joy and comfort that her dogs Sammie, Josh, and Pepper gave her . Above all it is important to remember the strong, tough, stubborn Irishwoman she was all of which drove her passion for goodwill and devoted love. Great care was given to her during her two year residency at Grandview Lodge, by the Bridgeview PSWs and RNs and Dr. Kamouna for which the family is forever grateful.
