Born on August 6, 1958 to the late Levi and Helena (Dennis) Joe of Eskasoni. She is survived and will be dearly missed by her loving husband James, her beloved daughters Elena and Tricia (Jeremy) as well as precious grandchildren Zayrn, James, Kaylena, Katie Belle, Noel, Matthew and numerous children and grandkids that she has adopted into her heart.

Pat was devoted to her family and her heart was always open to anyone who needed a loving hand. Pat loved playing bingo, traveling and camping. She was also a music lover and enjoyed playing her guitar and singing along to her favorite songs. Most members of the Mi'kmaq community would know and appreciate Pat's skills as a traditional basket maker and teacher.
