I will always treasure my memories of Pat Koller. She was unfailingly kind and supportive of me. From my first arrival at AHS, she took me under her wing. She taught me so much. What a professional she was! Her courses were masterfully crafted, and her students received absolute excellence in instruction. Always approachable, ever with a welcoming smile, I was honoured to have her as a mentor, a colleague, and a friend. Kind, conscientious, personable, intelligent, with a great sense of humour, I cannot list all her praiseworthy qualities or appreciate her enough. Pat changed my life for the better.

So very sorry to learn of the loss of Pat. Always so kind, welcoming, thoughtful, her warm friendship will be hugely missed. Sincere condolences to all family and friends.

Pat was such an incredible mentor and inspiration to me as a young teacher. She was my first department head and welcomed me to the English department at Aurora High School, despite the fact that I had a lot to learn! She demonstrated passion for teaching English and modelled care and compassion for students. 
I am so very sorry to hear of her loss.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Pat's passing. My sincere condolences to Herb and family.

My sincerest Condolence on the loss you have suffered.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My most sincere condolences to the family.  Pat was my colleague when I started at AHS.  Although I never worked in the English department that she led,  I did have the privilege to share her workroom.  I was always impressed with how she gracefully balanced professionalism and sensitivity to the staff she led. I remember how proud she was, that in her whole career as a teacher, she had not missed a single day of work. A true professional. When she retired, it wasn't goodbye. Pat would visit the school as a supply teacher. I will miss her dearly.

She was one of my teachers at AHS. All these years later; it is her smile and her laugh that I remember. I’m sure her family knows that many of her past students have such wonderful memories of her.

Pat's death comes as a shock, and so my deep condolences to Herb, her life partner and best friend, who must be quite bereft. 
Pat was a  very dedicated teacher. As department head, she often had to corral some lively egos. Her humour was sometimes delightfully audacious. She was a good mentor, a good colleague, a very generous host.
I miss her.

Pat was a great colleague and friend who will be sorely missed by all who were lucky enough to know and work with her.

Patricia had an extraordinary ability to connect with others, making everyone she met feel seen, heard, and truly valued. A radiant soul whose effervescent personality was nothing short of infectious.

While we will miss her embraces, we take solace in the cherished memories and moments that will forever live on in our hearts.

To Herb and family, as you wade through the challenging waters of grief, please know that you are not alone. We stand with you, enveloping you in our collective thoughts, love, and deepest sympathies during this trying time. Patricia's light will continue to shine in each and every one of us who had the privilege of knowing her.

I will miss my cousin “ Patoo - Pata “ , our weekly coffee chats and trips down memory lane together. Such a kind, loving and gentle spirit. Not just my cousin but such a dear friend …
Sandra Bissonnette

Our sincere condolences to Herb and the entire family. We had the pleasure of getting to know Patricia through our long standing supper club. She was a fabulous cook, a good friend who always had a smile and she had a wonderful laugh. She will be missed deeply.

Pat was a lovely person. She taught me in grade 9 at Williams. English. I was on staff at Aurora High School when I met her again.
Was on staff until 2009. IT was a pleasure to work with her. She will be sadly missed by many friends and family. May God comfort you in your time of sorrow.

Our most  sincere condolences. Shocking and so sad. I knew Pat from our exercises classes at the Senior Center. She so lovely  happy, and vibrant! She was also  an amazing English teacher at Aurora High, and we had the honour of her being one of my son's teachers.  
May she rest in peace, and may you find some solace in loving memories.
