Patricia Ann McDonald

I worked with Pat over 30 years at the BCGEU. I was the person who took Pats job when she was expecting Debbie. Pat you were a special person who will greatly be missed. My dreariest sympathy to all of the family. May peace be with you.

Pat and I worked together for many years. She was such a likeable person. Always happy, smiling and willing to give a helping hand. We all had fun when she was around, whether it was our "M/C dinners", at the trailer or at work. We all enjoyed hearing her family's funny goings-on from the night before - she obviously loved them very much! We were lucky to have shared her happiness and our time together. Those were the good 'ole days! Although we didn't know it at the time. Thank you Pat for our time together - its something I will always cherish!

I knew Pat during my 18years with the BCGEU. She was always smiling and whatever anyone needed Pat would do her utmost to accommodate them. Pat had a great crew in the mail room and was their leader! I was shocked to hear of her passing, she was a pleasure to be around. Condolences to her loving family on their loss. Sincerely John Langley

Many years of my working life at the BCGEU were spent with the solid support and dedication of Pat. She was missed so much when she left the BCGEU to retire and will be missed by so many now that she was taken far too soon. I was blessed to know such a lovely person and to have her support for so many years. Diane Wood

My sincere condolences to the family. Pat always had a genuine smile, ready to listen and a twinkle in her eye. Take heed in the fact the memories last forever.

I worked with Pat many years ago and will always remember her as a kind and gentle soul with a great wit and sense of humour who spoke fondly of her daughters, Debbie and Robyn often. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. God bless you Pat.

I started working with Pat in 1989, and from that first day I knew she was a very special woman. She was always kind, caring,trustworthy, always fair, always supportitive and really funny. Oh how she made me laugh. We still tell Pat stories at work, always good, never bad and that says something about her. Even in her illness she still had time to ask how I was doing, always the true friend. Thank you Andy, Debbie,Robyn and Mrs. Whitworth, for welcoming us to be a part of the last few months. I will miss my very dear friend Pat.

I worked with Pat for almost 30 years and the quiet efficiency, that is mentioned in the description of her life was so true! She was a wonderful BCGEU employee and a wonderful woman and I will always remember her asking me about my daughter, how I was -always caring about others...

It was an honor to have known Pat, through many years of working together, raising our children and grandchildren. So many memories we all hold dear, she never waivered to anyone who needed her, always had a good morning to you with that infectious smile. Like Father, like daughter comes to mind during this time of sorrow, I still envision the same walk, energy, kindness and caring manner as Pat and Lyle had in common. Andy, Isabel, Debbie, Robyn our hearts ache for you. Take pride always in the person Pat was, how many lives she touched and had an influence on. Her family was her core and heart and we were privileged as her friends and co-workers to have learned from her, shared with her and now grieve and miss a wonderful remarkable woman. Lyle has his Pat with him now, and we will see them again, another time and place until then, remember, draw the memories we each shared, her spirit will always be around those who knew her and loved her. You are a strong family, we know you will help each other through the days ahead as we say goodbye together. With our heartfelt condolences to all of you. Lynn and Tony

You will be missed by all. Thank you for your work over the years

I am so sorry for your family's loss. I remember so well that for all the years I worked at the BCGEU Pat had a spring in her step and a ready smile. She enjoyed life, she was warm and friendly with a quick laugh. I know she was well loved by her many close friends at work. Hold your warm memories of her close - she will be missed by all she touched. My deep condolences, George Heyman

I worked with Pat at the BCGEU So sad to hear of her passing My deepest sympathies to the family. At work, I use to joking call Pat "Patsy Cline" which she didn't mind she told me, as she actually liked her music. Pat always had a smile She will be sadly missed.

I have known Pat for over 30 years having worked with her at the Union. She was one of the lovliest people I have ever known. Always a smile and a kind word and full of laughter. She loved her family and was a dedicated mom, wife and daughter. She was a loyal and dedicated employee of the BCGEU and a good friend to many there. She will be sorely missed by all, especially her family. Unfortunately, I am unable to attend the service but will definitely donate to the Hospice Society. My love and sincere sympathy to all.

I am truly sorry for your loss and forever in my heart, will you always stay,Deblove you always
