Aunt Pat could always make me laugh and smile. It was obvious that she loved life. The last time we talked, she called me at work. It was great to hear her voice, and we had a wonderful conversation. I will truly miss her.

So many weekends were spent at the old Roll Arena where all my kids had a love affair with "Gramma Pat" and "Uncle Matt". What a pair there were. The infectious smiles just lit up the lives of so many of the kids and her generousity spilled over with the love. Our the kids came to the arena just to see them. Years later, it was my pleasure to serve their needs as their insurance agent. God bless and keep you by his side, no better people ever graced this earth.
i remember her taking care of Matt til the end -- always watching him so he could still maintain his independence ---- i also remember she always worried about everyone else and never dwelled that long on what was wrong with her -- she did not want to be a bother -- she loved watching her birds outside the window -- loved and remembered many faces and names from the time they owned the muskegon roller rink -- she was an Icon and will be missed greatly -- warm sympathies go out to the family members that are left behind -- know that one day you will be reunited under Gods Grace <3
We are very sorry to hear of Pat's passing, she will be missed by many. My prayers go to you and your family.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. She was a great lady. I will never forget my childhood and swimming in the pool at her home and going for a ride in Grandpa Durda's old car (Model T?). Fond memories of her generosity and caring heart. - Matt Millard

Patsy, David and all the Durda family. Growing up around Grandma Pat was an awesome experience. Spent at least 2 nights a week with her for years. She always watched out for all her "children". She touched more lives and hearts than anyone will ever know. Your loss is being felt my many. Your all in my thoughts and prayers!!!
