Patricia MCBREEN Obituary

My deepest sympathies to all Pats family. She spoke often about each and everyone of you. Pat was so kind to myself and Kevin as we both did quite a few stints in hospital. She was always there bringing baking and meals and offering to do housework and other things to help out. And laterly when our daughter passed, she was there to talk and share stories with. I will miss her dearly. All our love Lynda and Kevin

So s ad to learn of cousin Trish's passing but lovely memories of our times in NZ with her, and Bill, and of their great hospitality. Trish's UK visit are fondly remembered too. She is regarded as a legend by the family having heard her wonderful life history.
A lovely lady, RIP Trish.

Dearest Mrs McBreen,

I have the fondest memories of you teaching me at St Gerard´s School many moons ago.

Your love of teaching always shone through your enthusiasm, kindness, and sense of fun. One of my most treasured memories is your love of hockey, I cherished the special connection we had through our shared passion. It meant so much to me that you always took an interest in how my weekend games went.

I also have fond memories of your visits to our dear neighbour, Linda Scott.

You will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Rest in peace, Mrs McBreen.
