Wright, Patricia Ruth (nee How),71, of Dartmouth, N.S. passed away at St. Martha's Regional Hospital, Antigonish, on October 8, 2014.

Born in Springhill, she was a daughter of the late Douglas & Ruth (Potter) How

Growing up Pat attended schools for the Deaf in Halifax, Belleville, New Jersey and Montreal. She dearly loved her Mother and Father and had a special place in her heart for her grandmothers and great aunts, who were very kind to her as a girl. Pat was very demonstrative and loved to laugh and socialize.

She lived independently and worked for many, many years in Ontario and Nova Scotia at data entry and file management. She created many colourful crocheted throws; enjoyed cards, dominoes and absolutely loved doing cryptograms. The greatest joy in her life was her son Joel, who married Lori, and together they brought her two beautiful granddaughters.

She is survived by her son Joel (Lori), Midhurst, Ontario, sister Susan, Arlington, Virginia, brother Dwight (Lucille), Pomquet, granddaughters, Ava and Emerson. The family wishes to express their great gratitude to the staffs of the QEII Health Science Centre and St. Martha's Regional Hospital for the very kind and compassionate care they gave to Patricia.

A private interment at a later date. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of C.L. Curry Funeral Services, Antigonish.
