Memories of our guiding days, our children growing up, Paddy was
a joy to behold.
Friends for over 50 years are rare. I miss our coffee visits in the
greenhouse...Doug & Peter her two loves...I miss them also.
She's in my thoughts  always along with her family.
Take care of  yourselves. especially in these covid days.
Love you guy's           

Marg & family.

Goodness, such a lovely lady.  I admired her so much!  Her strength, her beliefs, her dedication and drive!  She got me started in Girl Guides Aurora as a leader and helped so many, always.  My memory is girl guide camping!  Outdoors, indoors, so many camping weekends!

We had some many good memories together,all those bridge games and coffee times.

Sorry for the loss of your Mother , our prayers and thoughts are with you. The Horton Family .

We are sorry to hear the sad news about Paddy. We first met her when we came to look at what would become our cottage. Our daughter fell in the water trying to retrieve a leaf  from the bottom of the lake and our son jumped in to get her out  They were both soaked and cold as it was late March or early April. Paddy took us to her cottage and gave them hot chocolate and dried their clothes. She beamed about her children and grandchildren and her kindness and consideration was all part of our decision to buy our cottage. We have many nice memories.

Our thoughts are with you.

Charmaine, Olivia, Victoria and John Roud

I hope for warm and happy memories of Aunt Paddy for you her children, grandchildren and significant others.  I have long appreciated Aunt Paddy's enthusiasm and zest for living things.
Margot Cummings, for Alicia and Morgan Hodgins too

So very sorry to learn of Paddy's death.
We were friends years ago at our cottages in Muskoka. We swam together and went to dances at the Community Hall with our friends who had cottages around us. I remember that Paddy always smiled with her eyes, wonderful person. Jane McCleary

I can not imagine the pain and sorrow over losing a truly special lady.  My condolences.  The great and fond memories that have come flooding back this week have brought me pain but also great joy.  She treated me as her own even setting a place at the table so I could enjoy desert.  She was a dear dear friend of my parents.  She was my kindergarten teacher, my baby sitter, my instructor and taught me not to cheat at euchre with Doug.   My childhood was fuller because Patty was in it.  I will cherish those memories as I have, for the rest of my life.
