My work buddy for many years at UTDallas. I remember her first day at work until I retired. I'll always remember your beautiful smile and pleasant attitude. She always reaffirmed spiritual guidance to me. I'm saddened that you left this world early but I know who you're with. Thanks for all the wonderful years Pat!

Pat and I became friends when we sat together in tenth grade biology class at Austin High School in El Paso. Later, I was delighted to learn that she ended up marrying one of my other high school friends, Mark McEachern. We reconnected when we both came to live in Richardson. Pat was a quiet, joyful, godly woman who I will see again in heaven. So sorry to see her pass so early in life. My condolences to the McEachern and Villa families.

I am saddened to hear of Pat's passing. Pat, Mark, and Julie moved in across the street from us in Richardson and Julie and I became fast friends so I spent a lot of time at their house. Pat was always kind, generous and patient towards me. It's been several years since I last spoke with her but as an adult I saw even more clearly what a wonderful person she was. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
