Frances Patricia ‘Pat’ Grant

The youngest of four children, she is survived by Kenneth “Casey” Criste, Sylvia (Ward) Sears and Mary (Bryan) Seip. She also leaves behind two amazing sons, Gary Alan (Christine) Grant and Eric (Donna) Grant; grandchildren: Andrew (Tiffany), Katelyn, Cassidy, Courtney, Abigail and Morgan; great-grandchildren: Brianna, Melanie and Blake; and her niece, Christine Sears, who was her loving companion and caretaker throughout her last years, actively involved in championing all aspects of Pat’s medical decision-making. Also surviving are nieces and nephews: Tracy Glass, Patricia (Brian) D’Onofrio, Mark (Thai-Phi) Seip, Blair Seip, Daniel (Denise) Sears and Michael (Jennifer) Sears.

Pat graduated from Bishop Carroll High School, and following in her dad’s footsteps, worked as a lab technician for Standard Labs for over 40 years.

Her love and loyalty to her friends and attention to her faith was fathomless. Above else, Pat was deeply devoted to her family and friends. She’ll be remembered for her willingness to help others and the lasting impact she made on all who were lucky enough to know her.

In closing, how do we honor Pat’s life journey? In all things, be kind.
